The newly elected Youth Members of Parliament have asked President Museveni to involve young people in pivotal government programmes.
In their premier joint press conference since their election on February 1, the Youth MP-elects said the move would stop the youth from defecting to the Opposition (See story ‘MPs task govt to address issues facing youth, Daily Monitor, February 10).
They decried that while the NRM won majority seats in Parliament, including all the Youth MP seats, the issues affecting the youth have not been paid attention to.
We welcome the MPs concerns, including the fact that while the ruling NRM government has in the past introduced income-generating programmes for the youth, their leaders are rarely involved in the implementation process. In the end, the resources get misappropriated.
