Former President, John Mahama has explained the reason behind weeding the median of the new military cemetery road covered with overgrown grass.
According to the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, he did it for the safety of his children in order to avoid them from an accident.
"We had overgrown grass in front of where I live, I came out with my staff and some of my neighbors and we came to weed. And I got lampooned why was I coming out to weed? It was causing accidents the grass had overgrown and so if you were coming from the front of our estate you could not see who was coming from the roundabout.

Mr. Mahama was criticized by majority of Ghanaians as populist yet the erstwhile president in a facebook live session explained that he couldn’t he couldn’t have looked for a life to be lost before clearing the weed not far from his residence.
