KARONGA YOUTH PARLIAMENT: THE EVIDENCE IS IN
Do you remember the last session of the Karonga Youth Parliament on Tuntufye FM, when the Opposition demanded evidence that MEDEF had received funding for youth economic empowerment under the Constituency Development Fund (CDF)?
Today, the Youth Parliament took the debate a step further.
We were joined by Mr. Victor Mlusu, Senior Credit Analyst at MEDEF, who provided evidence confirming the availability of funds for youth economic empowerment under CDF.
We also heard from Mr. Vincent Simfukwe, a representative of a youth club from Baka, who shared the challenges young people are facing in accessing the Youth Economic Empowerment Fund.
The question is no longer simply whether the funds exist, but why young people are still struggling to access them.
What did the Youth Parliament make of this evidence? What did the youth representative have to say? And where does the responsibility lie?
📻 Tune in to Tuntufye FM this Saturday at 7:00 PM for the full Karonga Youth Parliament radio programme.
The debate continues.
