The Upper East Regional Minister Stephen Yakubu has used the ‘Peace Walk’ activity organized by Parliamentarians in the region to appeal to all participants to make walking exercise a regular feature in their daily lives.
Hon. Yakubu made the appeal on Saturday, June 17, 2023, at the climax of the 30th Anniversary of Parliamentary Democracy organized by Members of Parliament.
Addressing Parliamentarians and members of the general public who participated in the Peace Walk, Hon. Said: “The significance of this celebration are enormous. First of all, it is a recognition of the role each of our regions can play in the development of the country irrespective of your geographical location. It also makes the people of the region and the country at large recognize the importance of democratic rule. And above all, this Health Walk together with the other fun games will undoubtedly improve upon the health of especially sedentary workers”.
The regional Minister acknowledged that most workers hardly allocate time for themselves to do exercise, as he used the opportunity to appeal for them to make exercise a regular activity in their daily lives
“These groups of workers hardly find time to exercise but are always found sitting behind their desks. We will like to use this opportunity to appeal to all participants to make walking exercise a regular feature in their daily lives”.
“Let me state that parliament is a noble institution that is clothed with the authority to make laws for the country. Consequently, as citizens, we need to consider the caliber of persons we vote to represent us as our legislators. We need to vote for these people based on their integrity and love for the region and country”.
“At the end of the day, we want people who can represent the hopes and aspirations of the citizenry. I am highly delighted to see in our midst this morning former members of parliament including my good self-participating in this epoch-making celebration irrespective of our political lineage”. He said
However, Peace Walk saw the presence of Members of Parliament such as Dr. Dominic Ayine the former Deputy Attorney General, Hon. Cletus Avoka, Member of Parliament for Zebilla Constituency, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, Member of Parliament for the Nabdam Constituency, Hon. Isaac Adongo, Member of Parliament for Bolga Central and Hon. Albert Alalzuuga, Member of Parliament for the Garu Constituency.
