Sarah Adwoa Safo, the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, has criticised the party’s disciplinary committee for failing to inform her about the postponement of a scheduled meeting.
Initially planned for today, Monday, April 7, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., the party, in another statement signed by the General Secretary, Justin Koduah Frimpong, announced the postponement of the meeting due to “emerging scheduling adjustments and internal considerations”.
The call for her appearance before the disciplinary committee follows Adwoa Safo’s remarks in the media, which party leaders interpreted as a breach of a prior directive against discussing issues that could lead to discontent and division within the party.
Prior to her entrance, a group of party supporters had gathered at the office to express support.
She arrived at the NPP headquarters at Asylum Down, Accra, on Monday morning, ready for the hearing.
However, to her surprise, she learnt that no committee meeting was taking place; only one party official was present to meet her.
Adwoa Safo expressed frustration because the NPP issued her a summons letter on a Sunday but neglected to communicate any updates regarding the hearing arrangements.

“There was no committee sitting today,” she explained. “I had an engagement with a national party officer, but there was no hearing. I’m left wondering why I was served a summons on a Sunday for a meeting that didn’t take place. If there was a change of plans, why wasn’t I personally informed? Why wasn’t I contacted by phone? Some of you have my number directly.”
She further voiced her frustration over the lack of communication, particularly as she had arrived fully prepared for the meeting.
She believes the party must handle such matters with professionalism and seriousness.
“As a party, we need to take these matters more seriously,” she said. “I came here ready for the committee meeting, but now I find myself in a situation where there’s no hearing, no committee, and no explanation. This could have been handled much more effectively.”
“As a lawyer, she pointed out that when someone is referred to a disciplinary committee, the presumption is that they have committed a wrongdoing and are facing disciplinary action. That is the purpose of the disciplinary committee. So, why ridicule me in public and then tell me that the committee isn’t even sitting?” She quizzed.
“The message being sent to the public is that I have done something wrong, something untoward, and that I have come here to be disciplined,” she stressed, adding, “Is this how I’m being treated? It’s disheartening.”
She reaffirmed her commitment to the party and confirmed her availability for any future disciplinary hearings.
