    "content": "Over the last three months, a lot of misinformation touching on the YEDF has been circulating. Some of it has found space in the media in recent weeks. Some of the documents being circulated are fictitious and have painted a very negative picture of the operations of the Fund. I have, therefore, deemed it necessary to issue this Statement in order to reassure the House, the taxpayers and the youth of this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the YEDF was conceived by the Government in June 2006 as one of the strategies to address youth unemployment. It was gazetted on 8th December, 2006 and officially launched on 1st February, 2007. The Fund is one of the flagship projects in the social pillar of Vision 2030. In the year 2009, the Fund experienced serious leadership challenges which then inhibited its capacity to deliver on its core mandate. The Fund now has a different leadership both in the board and at the management level."
