The Member of Parliament (MP) for Atwima Nwabiagya South in the Ashanti Region, Emmanuel Agyei Anhwere, has advised the youth to build on the foundation laid by their forefathers by making their maximum efforts to consolidate the gains made by the nation.
“The present generation can only build on the foundation laid by the forefathers if we give our maximum efforts to consolidate the gains for an enduring legacy for the next generation,” he said.
Mr Anhwere stressed on the need for all Ghanaians to come together and work towards the progress, growth and development of the nation since it was the civic responsibility for citizens to work towards the building of the country as was done by the forefathers of the country.
He indicated that it was time for Ghanaians to rededicate themselves and show the commitment, dedication, determination, hard work, patriotism, and honesty needed to rebuild the nation.
“The country is endowed with many natural resources and human resources and talents capable of transforming the resources to improve livelihoods of the people and what is needed is for the people to eschew laziness, backbiting, pull him down attitude, selfishness and corruption so as to be able to harness the resources to position the country onto the path of progress, growth and development.
“The present generation must arise to their civic responsibilities by honouring their tax obligations and showing patriotism to national property while taking part in national discourse in a dispassionate manner,” Mr Anhwere noted.
He called for the equitable distribution of national resources, opportunities, proper management of resources, diligent, efficient and effective execution of tasks as well as proper care and maintenance of public property at all times.
