    "content": "In response to the employer’s reluctance to hire inexperienced job seekers, initiatives are underway to improve information services to help young people access jobs and training opportunities. Also, the Government will develop a subsidy programme to employers that will lower the cost of hiring young people without work experience within the shortest time possible. Under consideration is a tax rebate to tax-compliant businesses and NGOs who hire inexperienced youth graduating from our educational institutions. Hon Members, the new Administration intends to make the public procurement process play a leading role in driving growth, creating quality jobs and reducing poverty in our economy. Under the new Administration, we are reforming the public procurement to reduce the turnaround time to complete a procurement process and make it less cumbersome, more transparent and supportive to our economic transformation agenda. In this regard, I have proposed amendments to the Procurement law: First, to enhance the preference and reservation for youth, women and persons with disability, from 10 percent to 30 percent;"
