“Now that embargo has been lifted on employment, I will focus on human capital development in order to eradicate poverty in my constituency”
“That is to say that beyond those who get white collar jobs, not every body have the skills or certificates.We need to find low funding mechanism for farmers, traders, women and youths just to fight against poverty in our society.
