The NRM Secretary General also implored the young leaders to have discipline, humility, and respect for leaders and peers.
“Be humble and flexible to fit into any environment after education.”
He also urged the young leaders to never tolerate corruption, that he said is a vice that has eaten up the country to the marrow.
“We should be bitter about the subject of corruption. Speak firmly about corruption. It is the biggest problem we have as a government not opposition. The people are tired of us because of the stealing of public resources by a few. We need to advocate for a future where wearing yellow is admirable,” Todwong said.
