    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for coming to speak openly about this and I have even seen him talking about it in the Press. I would like to get some clarifications from him. Unfortunately for us, in this Coalition Government, there seems to be too many changes within the Ministries. Could he clearly state whether he is aware or he knows that the biggest scandal that has hit the Youth Fund happened during the working relationship between the Ministry and a firm called Enablis? Was that issue ever sorted out to the satisfaction of the stakeholders who are the young people? That scandal is the reason why, continuously, you will keep hearing that the people are not happy with the Youth Fund. From that particular time when we all sought answers on that issue, we never got satisfactory answers. He should also tell us how much money, so far, has been added in terms of facilitation. When you use intermediaries, they give you extra money to give to the youth. The question has been: Why use intermediaries? Why use financial institutions which have private gain? Why give the Government’s money to a private institution to make money to loan out? Could he give us a clear indication as to why he must use intermediaries? Has the Government not been able to use institutions that do not seem to make money out of public money?"
