Hon. Bryan Acheampong, the Member of Parliament for Abetifi constituency, on January 28, 2022, held an Appreciation Day for teachers in Kwahu Pepease in the Eastern Region.
As part of his numerous interventions to motivate the various public sector employees under his constituency, the event was indeed an important one as far as his visions are concerned.
Addressing the gathering at the Pepease Durbar grounds, the MP admonished the teachers especially in Kwahu, to serve each other with a good and human–friendly posture just as teachers who have been posted to other jurisdictions from Kwahu would also do for the school pupils in that jurisdiction.
He said, “This year, my words for teachers, especially in Kwahu, those serving our people in Kwahu, we are appealing to you, this is where you are serving, you’re serving on the Kwahu land, and just as you are here serving, same way indigents from Kwahu are also working in where you came from”.
However, he charged the teachers to be of good character and of a good example to the students whom they stand before them.
“Just as you’re here, I’m pleading with you to set good examples for them. I’m also sending a piece of information to the Kwahus who have been posted to other jurisdictions to also, be of great benefit to the community and the children they teach. Work with your heart, and by so doing, Ghana will prosper”. He added.
