Tonpi urges people to work hard and live a honest life

During this Easter, Mendi-Munihu MP Raphael Tonpi has encouraged everyone to work diligently in whatever capacity they have been blessed.

Mr. Tonpi challenged parents to set a positive example for their children.

“Strive to provide for your family; students dedicate yourselves to your studies to foster hope for your families and communities,” he stated.

Mr Tonpi, who is also the Vice Minister for State Owned Enterprises reiterated the significance of hard work, warning that laziness is a disease that has infiltrated our society, undermining the foundations of a good life.

He called on the community to support one another, particularly during these challenging times, and to have faith that better days lie ahead.

“Health workers and teachers, give your utmost to serve the community. And whether you are a public servant or a private citizen, business owners or project managers, conduct your work with integrity.

"You will find satisfaction in doing an honest job and earning your living justly,” he emphasized.

He pointed out that deceit and political trickery have contributed to societal decline. He further stressed that money, wealth, and politics may come and go, but they cannot solve all problems.

While, recognizing the challenges and resource limitations ahead, he pledged to strive for the best for his district.

He reiterated his commitment to ensure equitable service delivery throughout the district, regardless of political affiliations or differing opinions.

“With God’s grace, I will dedicate my life to serving the people with honor and dignity,” he stated.

He said during this Easter Period, a smile and acts of encouragement, coupled with love and care, can significantly heal broken hearts and make a lasting impact.
