Adwoa Safo, O.B Amoah Replaced At ECOWAS, Pan African Parliament

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo has stepped down from serving as a Member of the South Africa based Pan African Parliament.

Parliament on Friday [April 7, 2017] announced the replacement of two members of the House on the Pan African Parliament and the ECOWAS Parliament.

The two are Sarah Adwoa Safo, Deputy Majority Leader and Member of Parliament (MP) for Dome Kwabenya, now Minister of State in Charge of the Public Procurement  and O.B Amoah, MP for Akwapim​ South, now Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development.

This follows the appointment of the two as Ministers of State.​

Ms Safo was on the south Africa based Pan Africa Parliament, and Mr Amoah on the Abuja based ECOWAS Parliament.​

The replacement of Ms Safo comes under Rule 8 (4) of the ​Rules of Procedure of the Pan-Africa Parliament, where a member loses his or her seat when he or he is appointed to executive or judicial position.

The House therefore resolved that in accordance with the rules nominated Mrs Cynthia Maamle Morrison, Mp for Agona West to replace Ms Safo, whilst Mr Alexander Kwamena​ Afenyo-Markin, MP for Efutu, replaced Mr Amoah.
