EX-NPP Cabinet Minister indicts Akufo-Addo for failing to sack Adwoa Safo, attacks Bagbin for behaving like MPs - Adomonline.com

Kwadwo Adjei Darko, New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Sunyani West from 1997 to 2009, has taken a swipe at President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for failing to dismiss absentee Gender and Children’s Minister, Sarah Adwoa Safo.

Mr Darko – who served first as Minister of Roads and Highways, next as Mines Minister, and, finally as Local Government Minister – was appearing on Adom News’ novelty segment ‘Memories of Newsmakers of Yesteryear’.

According to him, he sees it strange that for almost six years in government the president has failed to do any reshuffle…allowing absentee minister Adwoa Safo to bluff with impunity.

He was quick to add, however, that the only thing that is a setback for the party is the act of imposition of candidates on the electorate

He reckoned that that undemocratic act led to the party losing five parliamentary seats in the Bono Region

The former local government minister also tackled the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin for always behaving like an MP, though he is not.

That could have sufficed for the funding of the party – leaving no room for a few money bags to fund the party and hijack it for their selfish ends.
