Member of Parliament for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo stirred controversy by suggesting a revision to the national pledge, sparking criticism on social media.

Adwoa Safo argued that the phrase 'toil of our fathers' in the national pledge was wrong, emphasizing the need for a language change to be more inclusive of women.She pointed out the contradiction between referring to Ghana as our 'motherland' while only acknowledging the toil of forefathers in the pledge, excluding mothers.However, social media users were quick to express their disapproval, with one netizen asserting, "If Misplaced priorities was a person, no one could do it better than this woman."

Another comment criticized the proposal as a "Misguided, waste of time, nonsense," questioning the prioritization of a non-existent issue over other pressing matters before parliament.
