Investigations which this publication has made has revealed that Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) continues abusing its youths.
For a long time DPP cadets, some educated working in different organisations have been seen painting their bodies in party colours just as a show of loyalty.
This publication can confirm that the paint boys have been parading their painting skills at Golden Peacock in all the press conferences.
It’s sad that DPP can still continue abusing these youth and yet their manifesto speaks repeatedly on youth empowerment.
In the period 2019 to 2024, the DPP promised to embark on a comprehensive economic empowerment programme targeting all the people with deliberate focus on youth.
Chapter 20 of DPP manifesto says DPP sees youth as a demographic dividend
that will need to be harnessed in order to maximise on the benefits from the youthful population.
DPP promised to continue with the community colleges to train youths in different skills and link them to the market as well as promising the youth to support entrepreneurial behavior by providing soft loans to enable the trained youths to capitalize their businesses.
With all the sweet news promised, it is sad that DPP never did anything to support the youth than buying them 5 litres of paint for them to decorate party colours.
