MP for Tamale South who doubles as the mnister for Trade and Industry, Haruna Iddrisu has advised budding or aspiring politicians to “accept the values of modesty and humility as an integral part of service to mankind and service to the people.”
According to the Minister, Ghanaians should aim at maintaining a level of decency in their quest to uphold the legacy of the late President John Evans Atta Mills; a man who was the epitome of the attribute.
“As part of our quest to sustain his legacy, we must work to provide some decency even in the media. Like President Mahama said this afternoon (Wednesday), President Mills is an epitome that decency is possible within the annals of multiparty constitutional democratic politics,” he said.
Speaking on Eyewitness News, Haruna Iddrisu urged the general public to place the peace, stability and security of the country above all other interests.
“Democracy is not a 100 meter event. Let us build viable and strong institutions which were part of his (Mills’) commitment, let us be tolerant in our politics but above all, at all times, let us be guided by the peace, stability and security of our country and place that above all other interests including individual and petty partisan interests.”
