Failure to provide bursaries will haunt PF – UPND

UPND Lusaka province youth Spokesperson Gilbert Liswaniso says the PF has failed to honor most of their promises made to youths in the country prior to the 2011 elections.

Mr. Liswaniso notes that the levels of unemployment in the country have continued to be high, with casual jobs being the only jobs available.

He adds that the failure by some youth groups to pay back the youth development fund is also a clear indication that the PF has failed to handle issues pertaining to the youths.

Mr. Liswaniso says if government was serious about the plight youths in the country, it would ensure that those that access the empowerment funds pay back without fail for others youths to benefit as well.

Mr. Liswaniso has advised the PF government to use its remaining years in power to address the needs of the young people in the country.
