He added that: “I still believe that we can [do it], and we can have all these young people employed in some fashion or they can employ themselves in some fashion.
We will make sure we have the financial wherewithal so that everyone is truly given a chance to do something. We feel that not only is this a possibility, this is doable,”
Recently, the Minister of Labour and Vocational Training, Ken Kandodo disclosed that government will set up job centres across the country in a bid to improve employment and job creation.
