The issue of unemployment among the youth is, therefore, really adding to the poverty level in this country. I want the Minister to tell us the specific programmes that he has put in place to address the issue of unemployment amongst the youth. I believe that if that issue is not addressed, then we will not be bridge the gap between the rich and the poor or the haves and have-nots."}
