The coalition government’s talk about putting youth first has proved to be nothing but lip service, according to opposition Member of Parliament (MP) Pauline Sukhai.
During the debate on the proposed 2017 national budget in the National Assembly on Thursday, Sukhai accused the APNU+AFC of deceiving the youth during the 2015 elections campaign.
“The youth were promised much but have been put out in the cold,” Sukhai declared, while highlighting that there are no young persons in the Cabinet and only one youth representative on the government’s side of the House, MP Jermaine Figueira.
