Minister of Education, Yaw Osei Adutwum has fired shots at politicians, particularly those belonging to the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP) and largest opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC), for not giving one another credit when they initiate developmental projects.
He wondered why it should be difficult for a party to credit an opponent when the latter has done something remarkable.
He cited the E-Block community schools that commenced under the ertswhile Mahama regime, stressing it is appropriate to give the Mahama administration the praise due them while the incumbent NPP government completes the project that the previous government started.
To him, Ghanaian politicians are their own worst enemies.
"We're our worst enemies. Look at the good works that we're doing as government officials, instead of talking about the good works; we will rather tell people that we haven't done anything. If you haven't done anything, then it means you're wasting the nation's money," he said on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo''.
The Education Minister called on politicians to appreciate the good work one does irrespective of their political party affiliation.
" . . somebody doesn't have to be bad for me to be good. They can be good but I'm better. I don't have to paint them bad so people will find me good," he stressed.
He was discussing the free Senior High School policy by President Nana Akufo-Addo.

The honorable Minister didn't lie to anybody. He is a brilliant guy trying hard not to join in the chorus of those whose understanding of opposition party politicking, is being mischievous about the good policies of the government of the day. It is unfortunate, that the NDC had not realized that, it had been responsible for most of the mess that needs to be fixed. The NDC had ruled Ghana for 27 years, longer than any Government in the history of Ghana. It is worth noting that all social and human-centered interventions like FSHS and NHS for example, had all been provided by the NPP-Administration.
Listen to who is saying what? Hon Minister you sat on a national tv and lied about the NDC gov't'S performance in education just to score cheap political points. It only took an intervention from hon Ablakwa and fact-check from Joy fm to expose you. You preach virtues and practice otherwise
What a man. Full of wisdom, patriotic and noble. Well done . This is the sort of minister Ghana needs
