Former Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Mavis Hawa Koomson, has said she has been vindicated by the findings in the report of Interior Minister, Muntaka Mohammed Mubarak on the Kasoa shooting incident during the 2024 general election.
In a statement released via her Facebook account on November 6, 2025, Hawa Koomson noted that the Minister’ s findings affirm her stance that the tragic shooting incident at Kasoa during the 2024 election “was the result of security lapses and institutional failures, not the actions or instigation of any individual.”
The former Gender Minister said for years she endured what she described as harsh and unfair public attacks and was “branded violent, reckless, and unfit for office through sensational and misleading headlines.”
The report, presented by the minister, confirmed that the Kasoa election-related violence in 2024 was caused by security lapses and institutional failures, rather than the actions or instigation of any individual.
In the report, the minister noted that Philis Naa Koryoo Okunnor, who is now the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, denied that her convoy was attacked and that she was nowhere near the scene of the incident.

However, she stressed that the Interior Minister’s report on the 2020 and 2024 electoral violence confirms her innocence amidst all the accusations.
“Today, the Interior Minister’s findings have vindicated me, confirming that the violence was not directed by me but stemmed from broader systemic failures in election security coordination,” Hawa Koomson said.
