Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Agyapong has warned the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo not to yield to the demands of the Dome/Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo.

According to Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, Hon. Adwoa Safo, who is currently on a extended leave from Parliament, is making outrageous demands before she returns to undertake her Parliamentary and Ministerial duties.

To him, Hon. Adwoa Safo, who doubles as the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection and is currently based in the USA, has decided to sabotage the government if her demands are not met.

Speaking in an interview on Asaase radio, the outspoken MP revealed that Adwoa Safo requests the President to remove the Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin and hand over the position to her before she will return to Ghana to participate in the voting on the  electronic transaction levy, popularly called e-levy as well as execute her Parliamentary duties.

She has also pledged to ruin the governing New Patriotic Party's chances of implementing the electronic transaction levy, popularly called e-levy if nothing is done about her desires, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong further disclosed.

To him, Adwoa Safo is threatening the NPP but asked the President to ignore her emphasizing the party may have already lost their Dome/Kwabenya seat.

''...Adwoa Safo is in Parliament in the name of NPP but we are in opposition. So, if we lose, we go to bye-election and lose; it doesn't make a difference. I tell you! For the way the girl or the woman is treating NPP party. Look, we all have problems in the party. Me, let me tell you, all the sacrifices I've made with the exception of the Judge that I was annoyed; they wanted to take my land and I insulted them, every court case that I have in this country is because of NPP but nobody in NPP has even asked 'oh how is the court case?''', he said.

Mr. Agyapong also cautioned the President not to fall for Adwoa Safo stressing should he (President Akufo-Addo) decide to fulfill the desires of the Dome/Kwabenya MP, he (Kennedy Agyapong) will also make his own demands which is to call for the President's resignation.

''So, if you think you have a problem and the way you are going to operate is to sabotage the party. Now, you're asking for the President to remove the Deputy Majority Leader for you to be the Deputy Majority Leader, I will also go back to America and tell President Akufo-Addo 'resign' before I come. Yeah, if President Akufo-Addo should yield to Adwoa Safo's demand, I will also go to America, then I will make phone call to Chief of Staff 'well, tell President Akufo-Addo to resign' before I come back'', he exclaimed.
