Tensions flared in Parliament after a National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament took a sharp jab at the Minority, telling them to “continue to weed projects” allegedly abandoned during their time in government.
The fiery remark came amid heated discussions over the state of several development projects inherited by the current administration. The NDC lawmaker accused the previous government of neglecting critical infrastructure initiatives and leaving many projects overgrown and incomplete.
“Continue to weed projects your government left in the bush,” the MP declared, drawing reactions from both sides of the political divide.
According to the legislator, the current administration has been forced to spend valuable time and resources reviving projects that were either stalled or abandoned altogether. The comment was aimed at Minority members who have been criticizing the government’s pace of development and project execution.
The statement immediately triggered uproar in the chamber, with Minority MPs rejecting the accusation and insisting that their administration had laid a strong foundation for national development before leaving office.
Political observers say the exchange highlights the growing battle between the governing NDC and the Minority caucus as both sides seek to shape public perception ahead of future political contests.
Supporters of the NDC have hailed the MP’s comments as a bold response to criticism, while opponents argue that the government should focus on delivering results rather than engaging in political blame games.
As the war of words intensifies, the debate over abandoned projects and accountability is expected to remain a major talking point in Ghana’s political landscape, with both sides refusing to back down.
For now, one phrase continues to dominate the conversation: “Continue to weed projects your government left in the bush.”
