He highlighted Parliament’s efforts to strengthen integrity, including the revision of the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament, the establishment of an Anti-Corruption Department within the Parliamentary Service, and the launch of the National Integrity Awards Scheme in 2025.
The Speaker said the awards scheme, chaired by retired Justice William Atuguba, recognises individuals who demonstrate honesty and transparency, adding that strong systems of integrity are essential to good governance.
He urged Ghanaians to raise children who value truth, encourage public servants to put service above self-interest, and support leaders who place national interest ahead of partisan considerations, saying stronger integrity would help build trust, strengthen institutions and promote sustainable national development.
