Former Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has stirred widespread debates on social media, following her recent revelation about abstaining from the vote on the controversial Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy).

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, she expressed no regrets over her decision, emphasising that it was motivated by the financial hardships the levy would impose on ordinary Ghanaians already struggling to make ends meet.

"Some NPP members kicked against the E-Levy because of the hardship it would impose on the ordinary Ghanaians who are struggling to make ends meet. It did not sit well with me, I had discussions with my father, and I was torn between my church and my political party.

"In Dome Kwabenya, most of our church members opposed it. I took a firm decision to recuse myself. I am looking forward to the day in Parliament where MPs will have the courage to vote against policies of government," she stated.

Her statement has also reignited discussions about an alleged impersonation incident during the E-Levy vote in Parliament.

On the day of the vote, an individual, wearing a mask and believed to be the MP, was present in Parliament.

This raised suspicions at the time, as reports suggested Adwoa Safo was abroad taking care of personal business.

Following the interview, social media has been buzzing with reactions, with many questioning who was in Parliament if the former MP insists she didn’t vote.

While the former gender minister maintains that she was present in Parliament but abstained from voting, her claims have been met with skepticism by some Ghanaians.

In other breath she says she doesn’t regret abstaining from the E levy meaning she was not in parliament,in another breath she says was the lady in the mask so which one should we take

Then that woman should be arrested for impersonating an MP.
Such a disrespect to Ghanaians

How can you be so wicked to your own people or those who gave you the power

So who in NDC voted for it, since she didn’t? Or it was “yeah yeah and no no, the majorities have it”?
