“As a church, I wish to point out that you have a very critical role in guiding the legislative assembly to make decisions that will promote the growth of this country and it is really a great responsibility which we cannot take for granted, it only requires God to be with you, to give you wisdom and resilience to move on amidst all odds of challenges. Of course, we have followed in the media and on television, the deliberations of Parliament and we do understand the challenges the Speaker faces in instilling discipline in the Honourable House and we want to let you know that you are on the right path, we are praying for you and the nation,” he said.
And Speaker Mutti thanked the SDA Church for its support and congratulatory remarks on her achievements.
The Speaker has appealed to all Churches to offer moral and spiritual guidance and advice during times when institutions like the National Assembly are grappling with critical issues that may not have been adequately addressed in public discourse, instead of resorting to social media for such discussions.
Speaker Mutti also commended the Seventh-day Adventist Church for its various programs aimed at assisting women in diverse areas, emphasizing the importance of knowledge acquisition for personal and community development.
