The Member of Parliament for Ho West, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah has challenged school pupils and students to educate their peers, families and communities about the actual duties of Members of Parliament.
According to him many citizens have the perception that it is the duty of MPs to develop their areas hence the need for students to help dispel that notion.
Mr Bedzrah who is also chairman of the Volta caucus of Members of Parliament made the call when pupils and students from the Tsito EP Basic and Junior High Schools visited the legislature to acquaint themselves with its workings.
The MP encouraged the pupils to be disciplined and eschew laziness in their studies and on all their endeavours since that is the only way to achieve their life goals.
He also educated the pupils on parliamentary proceedings, the composition of Parliament, the leadership of the House, the Standing Orders among others.
The Ho West MP who is also the Ranking Member on the Government Assurances Committee of Parliament emphasised for the understanding of the students that the duties of MPs are that of law making but not development agents as it is perceived to be.
He has therefore urged all the pupils to educate their parents and communities about responsibilities of law makers.
Assistant Head Teacher of the school, Isaac Anlesinya on behalf of the school and pupils thanked the MP for his words of inspiration and reception.
He assured of his outfits readiness to help the pupils educate their communities about the duties of Members of Parliament.
