Former Anyaa-Sowutuom Member of Parliament Dickson Adomako Kissi has delivered a pointed assessment of Sarah Adwoa Safo’s parliamentary record, arguing that the former Dome-Kwabenya legislator fell short of the standards her constituents had every right to expect.
Speaking on Joy Prime TV on Thursday, March 26, 2026, Dr. Kissi said the level of engagement and representation that Adwoa Safo’s experience and stature in government demanded simply did not materialise during her tenure. Residents and party faithful, he argued, had placed considerable faith in her — and that faith was largely unrewarded.
His remarks cut to a broader point about what parliamentary representation actually requires. Holding a seat, Dr. Kissi stressed, is the beginning of the job, not the job itself. Effective representation demands consistent presence, genuine responsiveness to community concerns and active participation in national debates — none of which, in his view, defined Adwoa Safo’s time as MP for Dome-Kwabenya.

Adwoa Safo served the constituency for several terms and held the position of Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. But her parliamentary career became a subject of significant public debate, particularly following an extended period she spent outside Ghana — an absence that triggered fierce discussions about accountability and the obligations elected officials owe their constituents.
Dr. Kissi’s comments add a fresh voice to those lingering questions. With parties increasingly scrutinising their performance in key constituencies ahead of future elections, the conversation around what went wrong — or right — in Dome-Kwabenya is far from over.
