First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Joseph Osei Owusu has admonished Ghanaian students to pursue integrity in their quest to become useful to themselves and society.
He urged the students to strive to be loyal to their country and be smart in all their endeavours in the pursuit of their education goals.
“Strive to be loyal to your country, smart, intelligence, but i tell you, above all, you need integrity, let your integrity be your guide” he advises.
He said this is serious as they prepare to assume the mantle of leadership.
According to him, it is important for the students to adequately prepare themselves in readiness for the future.
Mr Osei Owusu who gave the remarks when he inaugurated the Koforidua Technical University chapter of the Students Parliament over the weekend charged the students to join efforts in the development agenda for a prosperous nation.
He encouraged the student Parliamentarians to be non-partisan in their mock Parliamentary discussions and debates but political in looking at issues from different angles because it is a preparatory ground for greater responsibilities in future as they proffer solutions to issues affecting them.
As Parliament celebrates twenty five years of uninterrupted Parliamentary democracy this year, the Bekwai MP said it is the responsibility of every citizen in protecting the nation’s Parliamentary democratic credentials for the sake of posterity.
