Two letters sighted show Adwoa Safo actually arranged for land for the construction of the Kwabenya SHS, the community day senior high school in her constituency.
The Dome Kwabenya MP has been the subject of relentless trolling on social media for claiming during a recent delegates’ conference of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in her constituency that she personally negotiated with the World Bank to site a public senior high school in her constituency after securing litigation-free land for that purpose.
Her move at the time, she said, had become necessary because the NDC government was putting up the community day senior high schools in only its strongholds, at the expense of constituencies like hers.
The claim has been rebuffed by the NDC who say Ms Safo was not involved in deliberations in obtaining the grant for the construction of the schools and there was no policy to concentrate such infrastructure in its strongholds.
After days of being mocked across social media, a letter purportedly written by Ms Safo on May 4, 2015 to the Director-General of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) shows the MP initiated moves to get the land for the school project.
The letter from Ms Safo read: “I write to request for 20 acres of land from your outfit. This tract of land will be used for the construction of a senior high school (SHS) facility to serve the educational needs of students in my constituency who graduate from the basic schools.
“There are 33 basic schools, yet there is no senior high school where pupils from the junior high schools could graduate to. “We also have to our benefit three major universities: the University of Allied Sciences, Wisconsin University, and Ashesi University. This is clear evidence of a gap in the educational structure in the constituency.
“I would therefore be grateful if you could grant us the said tract of land to enable the government construct a [senior high] school facility in the constituency as part of the 100 [Senior High] Schools project initiated by the government.”
The lawmaker’s request was approved a few days later by GAEC, with its Director of Administration, Felix Adeku, on behalf of the Director-General, authorising the Ga East municipality to cede some portion of the Commission’s lands for the project. Giving the directive on May 8, 2015, GAEC said: “Management has approved the use of the land at the GAEC DC Primary and JHS in between the Community Library and the Israel King of the Jews for the building of a senior high school facility as part of government’s intended project in the municipality.
“You are kindly requested to produce a site plan on the discussed area for the project for consideration and documentation. We count on your cooperation.”

So Fake. Lies
then i think you are worse off a disgrace to yourself family community, school and woman society in general even if you are indeed a woman, simple facts and truth too you are calling it fake but you believe the propaganda agenda by your ndc
THIS FAKE LETTER CAN ONLY CONVINCE THE GULLIBBLE NPP SUPPORTERS AND THEIR MEDIA CABAL. A LETTER WRITTEN ON 4TH JUNE IS APPROVED ON 8TH JUNE. WHEN DID THE BOARD SIT TO APPROVE OF THAT REQUEST AND WHY WAS THE RESPONSE NOT ADDRESSED TO THE MP BUT THE MCE? FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE, ADWOA SARFO IS A DISGRACEE TO WOMANWOOD.
CLEARLY THE NDC WAS LYING AS USUAL WHEN THEY SAID SHE DID NOTHING ABOUT THE PROJECT. THE NDC AS USUAL KEPT ON SHIFTING THE GOAL POSTS, SETTING THEIR OWN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERING THEM IN THEIR USUAL ILLITERATE WAY. IF THROUGH ADUAS EFFORT THE LAND WAS AQUIRED, THEN CLEARLY IT WAS A JOINT EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE NDC GOVERNMENT AND ADJUA SAFO.
Case closed. She did indeed lobby for the project. This even goes far beyond lobbying. She facilitated the project. Ndc must get serious. Comfortable lead 1diots in opposition.
