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.”

We are talking about lies, they are talking about some noseeeeensseeeeee land. Let talk about the world bank respond to her stupiiiiiiid lies and stop this land thing.
beauty without brains!!!!
technology! All one need is get hold of Ghana emblem, Computer & type anything. No wonder Ghana Lands & Evaluation Board has the most cases of land litigation in COURT either against them or vice versa. And land guard been the champion of crooks selling a plot of land to 10 people @ he same time. Ghanaians are smarter than this ***barred word***.
Adwoa safoa has provided evidence to the fact she did write for the acquisition of the land where the current sec school is sited. A receipt and acknowledgement of the said request has been made available. This acknowledgement further made a request for a site plan to be provided. Which she did by using her common fund to finance. It is not unusual for an opposition mp to lobby the govt of the day for a project to be brought to his or her constituency. In fact Adwoa conceded that it was a government project being funded by the world Bank. She did not hide that fact. She only credited herself with that little part she played in getting that to her constituency in the midst of the fact that the NDC govt had sited these schools projects at their strongholds. By the way why is hon Okudzeto at the forefront of casting inuendos on this present govt appointees. First it was a bribery allegation against the energy minister, then the 2.25 dollar bond sent to the US security centre.What is he afraid of. Incidentally, the govt appointees being attacked are personalities who are well placed to pluck outloopholes that give rise to massive corruption. The independent prosecutor would be set up and people engaged in corruption both past and present will be dealt with. Certainly, if there are withches to be hunted they will be hunted. Adwoa safoa told no lie for which she should apologise
