The Chairman of the National Peace Council, Most Reverend Dr Emmanuel Asante has charged the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to institute disciplinary action against the Member of Parliament for Awutu-Senya East, Hon Hawa Koomson for tarnishing the party’s image.
According to Most Rev Asante, the NPP must consider some sanctions against the Special Development Initiatives Minister for bringing the name of the governing party into disrepute.
“I wish that the NPP will take note of this and take action in respect of what she has done to bring their name into disrepute,” he said.
Rev Asante said whilst the party prepares to sanction her, she must do the honourable thing by resigning from her post as Minister for Special Development Initiatives.
Speaking to JoyNews on Tuesday, the Chairman of the National Peace Council described the action of the Minister as an embarrassment to President Akufo-Addo, explaining that the resignation would be the only way to mitigate the consequence of her behaviour.
Most Rev Emmanuel Asante again said that the Privileges Committee of Parliament should meet and discuss the Kasoa shooting incident, believing that the action of the Member of Parliament warrant for such processes.
The Central Regional Police Command says it is investigating an incident that led to the firing of arms by Member of Parliament for the Awutu Senya East Constituency,Hon. Hawa Koomson; thus, the MP has honoured their invitation and given her statement on the matter.
“When we went to the scene, it was the four people we arrested that were met but later intelligence led us to identify that she (Hawa Koomson) is someone who can also assist with investigations so we invited her over”, the Regional Public Relations Officer, DSP Irene Oppong said on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show.
A Cape Coast Circuit Court has granted the four suspects who were arrested in connection to the disturbance at a voters’ registration centre bail.
The Court presided by Dorinda Smith Arthur granted them bail to the tune of ¢30,000 each with two sureties.

Special Initiative Minister indeed . so is it the special initiative she's developing ?? going about shooting guns in the air. To start with what is it that they are all running around the registration centre doing ? As a minister please learn to set good records .
Oh peace council this woman has been visiting many registration centers in her constituency with no incidents, so this very center she pulls a gun?. What actually transpired at the center has to thouroghly investigated before you crucify the her. She is not so crazy to pull a gun if things were normal and more also she is a woman.Imagine having seen over 8 motor riders all coming on you, some circling her, even if you are man you will be afraid.
Peace Council pls...this is what Major Mahama didnt do and now he is dead..why aint you questioning why she shot the gun..Hon Hawa did that just to stay alive...she didnt just shoot unprovoked
The journalist and the so called Chairman shd ask of who brought the motorbikes to the poling station b4 the condemn the MP becausee the rules are no motorbikes at the poling station.
With all due respect , I bet to differ peace councile the minister can not be killed like chicken by this Ndc criminals before taken action. I support Hon. Hawa 100000000% for firing warning shot because she can not stand aloof for this Ndc criminals attack and her kill before this lazy journalist of Ghana will report her death , i like her action too what a brave woman , next time they should try any Npp woman Mp then we will see what will happen to this Ndc incompetent party.
