THE Patriotic Front says youths in the country should use the ballot to reject the MMD because it has failed to attend to their needs. In a statement, PF Lusaka district youth chairman Yelisa Nkhondowe stated that it was not a secret that poverty, illiteracy and unemployment were high among the youths, who constitute 68 per cent of the Zambian population.

“These sufferings are due to the failure by the MMD government, which has denied the youths their economic, social and cultural rights,” he stated. Nkhondowe appealed to youths not to lose hope because PF, when in government, will embrace them in national development.

“To enable this cause, PF has programmes such as creation of micro credit financing facilities to lead entrepreneurs, expansion of trade centres to impact survival skills such as power electrical, mechanics, bricklaying and plastering to integrate the youths in decision-making positions,” stated Khondowe.
