He stated that he was in contact with Adwoa Safo but failed to return even though she indicated she will be in the country by Easter.
“A respected person who is even friends with her father went to see Adwoa Safo [to] appeal to her. The respected person spent two weeks there. In the end, she didn’t come. She said she doesn’t have time to come to Ghana. She didn’t come
“I was the when she called me and told me she’s on her way but Covid test [frustrating her]. She sounded like she was at the airport already and it was only left with the Covid test to be done for her but they were saying a lot of things.
“They said she didn’t come early so unless she goes home and comes the following day before they can do it for her. In the course of that, she said she has moved the test to the weekend. The weekend too she said she thought they will do the Covid test for her. The matter was complicated.
“The day she went, it was a public holiday so they couldn’t do it for her and for that reason it had to move to the following day again. All this time I was engaging her on that. In the end, I wasn’t hearing from Adwoa Safo for 2 weeks on whether or not she has been successful with the Covid test to allow her to come back to Ghana.
“During that time, she mentioned that she will come back during Easter. This was in the first meeting of Parliament. She didn’t come during Easter. May, June, and July is ending and she hasn’t come. When she says she’s been politically witch-hunted, I don’t understand her,” Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said.
