Former Awutu Senya East MP, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has accused her successor, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunnor, of fabricating stories against her, plotting to tarnish her reputation, and attempting to end her life.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, the former Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture alleged that from the moment Naa Koryoo entered politics in Kasoa, she resorted to lies and propaganda as a strategy to win public sympathy and eventually the parliamentary seat.
“From day one, Naa Koryoo came to Kasoa and started fabricating lies because she was taught that if she went that route, she would win the Awutu Senya East seat — and she succeeded,” Hawa Koomson stated.
She added that her refusal to follow such tactics made her a target for malicious attacks and false accusations.
“I made up my mind not to tow her line. I don’t know how to lie because I was not brought up that way. But someone trained to fabricate lies to make them appear true — that’s exactly what she did in 2020,” she explained.
Hawa Koomson claimed the political rivalry escalated during the 2020 elections when she was falsely accused of bringing armed men into the constituency.
“I was accused of bringing armed men into the constituency. It took only God’s intervention; that’s why I was not arrested or prosecuted,” she said.
The former MP also alleged that during the Ablekuma North re-run, Naa Koryoo’s husband led a group that attacked her, leaving her narrowly escaping a stabbing incident.
“Naa Koryoo wanted to disgrace me and wanted me dead. Her husband led people to come and attack me and almost stabbed me during the Ablekuma North re-run. I would have been in prison by now, and I am grateful to God for His intervention,” she recounted.
Her comments follow Interior Minister Mubarak Muntaka’s recent revelation in Parliament that Naa Koryoo had denied any attack on her convoy during the 2024 general elections — contradicting earlier reports that had fueled tensions in the constituency.
Hawa Koomson maintained that the truth is now emerging, expressing gratitude for what she believes is divine vindication after years of public vilification.
