Former Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has accused her successor, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunnor, of peddling lies to destroy her reputation and make her appear as a bad person in the eyes of the public.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Madam Koomson expressed disappointment over what she described as a consistent campaign of falsehoods against her by Naa Koryoo, whom she considered like a younger sister.
“This woman, if she ventures into acting, it won’t be good at all because the way she acts and lies is unbelievable,” she said. “I was shocked when I saw a video of her lying about me during an interview. I wonder why someone can lie like that just to make people see me as a bad human being.”
According to her, the lies have affected how people perceive her, but she remains thankful that the truth is beginning to emerge.
“Everywhere I go, people think I’m a very bad person because of what has been said about me. Some people even have the courage to tell me that I’m such a nice person but that others keep destroying my name. Even Nana Yaa Jantuah once told me the same thing — that I’m a good person but people have painted me black,” she said.
She added that although she initially chose to ignore Naa Koryoo’s attacks out of respect, she later realized that the lies were damaging her image.
“I saw Naa Koryoo as a small sister or even a daughter, so I decided not to pay attention to her rants. But I didn’t know she was using that time to destroy me. I thank God that today I have been vindicated,” Hawa Koomson stated.
Her comments follow revelations by the Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Muntaka Mohammed, in Parliament that Naa Koryoo denied any attack on her convoy during the 2024 elections — contradicting earlier reports that suggested otherwise.
Hawa Koomson, who lost the 2024 parliamentary contest to Naa Koryoo, said she believes the truth is now unfolding.
“The truth is gradually coming out, and everyone can now see what really happened,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry has confirmed that investigations into the Awutu Senya East election violence are ongoing, with the driver of the Mahindra vehicle already traced as part of efforts to establish the full facts of the case.
