Celebrating Youth Day

Hi out there, March 12 will be used by politicians from all walks of life to make strong policy statements outlining their direction(s) on various issues ranging from education to empowerment. But one lesson I have learnt is that it cannot be considered done until it is done. Take for example the Tourism Development Credit Facility: There was speculation when it was launched that it would focus on the youth and target employment and wealth creation. But that seems to be a credit facility benefitting only the super-rich, who have had long careers in government and are on their way out of active life. These are the people pulling the strings at the tourism ministry when it comes to who gets the first consideration Cheers LusakaOnline
