Fiery Parliamentary Exchange Sparks Political Drama
A heated political exchange has erupted in Parliament after a Member of Parliament from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) issued a sharp rebuke to the Minority, telling them to “go back and weed projects your government left in the bush.”
The comment, delivered in a strongly worded intervention during debate on national development and infrastructure accountability, quickly triggered uproar on the floor, with both sides trading accusations over abandoned and uncompleted projects across the country.
The NDC MP accused the opposition of hypocrisy, arguing that many of the projects being criticized today were either poorly executed or left in a deteriorating state during their time in office. He insisted that rather than attempting to shift blame, the Minority should focus on revisiting and maintaining projects they initiated but allegedly failed to complete.
The remark — particularly the phrase “weed projects in the bush” — has since gone viral in political circles, with supporters of the MP describing it as a blunt but accurate reflection of neglected infrastructure scattered across various constituencies.
However, members of the Minority pushed back strongly, branding the comment disrespectful and overly political, arguing that it reduced serious national development concerns to ridicule.
The exchange further highlights the increasingly tense atmosphere in Parliament as both major political blocs continue to clash over credit for ongoing infrastructure development and responsibility for stalled projects.
Political observers say such heated rhetoric reflects the deepening rivalry between the governing side and the opposition, especially as development records become a key talking point in national discourse.
The incident is expected to fuel further debate both inside and outside Parliament, as each side seeks to shape public perception over who bears responsibility for unfinished or abandoned projects across the country.
