He said that the youth should take over the political climate and make sure they adopt an uncompromising stance in the enhancement of peace and stability.The MP urged them to actively involve themselves in the country's political environment.
Hon. Dan Botwe highlighted on the essence for people in their youthful age to conduct themselves in a decorous manner in order to prevent any possible violent occurences. He keenly cautioned Ghanaians to be wary and not embrace themselves as "All-righteous" peaceful nation.
Hon. Dan Botwe was speaking at the UNESCO Youth for Peace forum held, today,at the British council under the auspices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
The Youth for Peace forum was under the theme "Our Call: Youth, Ensure Peace" and aimed at helping the youth to develop the skills, behaviours and visions for the promotion of peace. The programme brought together various youth groups to deliberate on the ways that can enhance peace in the country.
Dan Botwe implored the youngsters to get themselves abreast of the electoral system and courageously lash out any government which compromises on peace building and the stability of the nation. He entreated every young person to condemn the politics of insult that has become rampant in the nation and utilize the political platform peacefully without violence.
Expanding further on the measures to building peace, the Member of Parliament for Ayensueno, Ayeh-Paye Samuel, said governments should not condone any wrongdoing but rather met out punitive measures on any government official who engages in corruptible practices.He said that justifying the misconducts of government officials collapses the peaceful frontiers of the country.
Ayeh-Paye Samuel, in reaction to the recent strike by the public sector doctors, stressed categorically that the government should reshuffle the President of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and also device alternative measures to resolve the turmoil in the health sector.
