Minister of State for Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has shared insights into his journey as a Member of Parliament, emphasizing that holding political office should not come at the cost of one’s values.
Speaking on The Point of View on Channel One TV monitored by MyNewsGH, he reflected on the impact of his role in Parliament and how it has shaped his understanding of governance.
“You don’t have to lose your principles in order to become an MP, except that you need to be more empathetic and sensitive to the plight of the people. It also opens your eyes a lot, and as I say, you see the country for what it is,” he stated.
Kwakye Ofosu noted that being in Parliament has made him more aware of the struggles faced by ordinary Ghanaians and reinforced his commitment to championing the cause of the underprivileged.
“If you thought in the past that you were on to something, there’s much more that you were unaware of and much more that you need to take into consideration. It makes you a better vessel to champion the cause of those who are deprived,” he added.
His remarks shed light on the challenges and responsibilities that come with being a lawmaker, particularly for those who enter Parliament with a background in activism or public advocacy.
