The youths of Malawi have demanded the resignation of the
Minister of Labor Honorable Eunice Makangala. The Malawi Observer can reveal
the development. During the deliberations on 1st August 2013, a
controversial Law student cum youth parliamentarian Osman Kennedy gathered the
strength and spoke on behalf of over 7 million Malawian youths by moving a
motion to call for the resignation of the minister.
In his auditorium, the youthful lawmaker said,” as you may
wish to recall on the ongoing as regards to the so much talked Labor
exportation deal, as a concerned youth standing on behalf millions of youths
out of this chamber, I am giving 20 days of ultimatum to the labor minister to apologize
to the youth of Malawi for fooling them on the labor deal. In such a case that
the minister fails to apologize, it will be much better if the Minister of labor
immediately resign from her position for seriously breaching public trust. I
would like to make it clear that if the Honorable Minister Eunice Makangala fails
to conform to this, surely the youths of the country will go to the streets to show
their dissatisfaction and anger with the minister.
As a matter of fact, there are lots of issues requiring the
attention of the government concerning the youths of Malawi. It’s very
unfortunate that instead of our leaders especially politicians to take part in
empowering the youths, the best accolade they can give them is use them as
political tools for their gain. ” My fellow youths, I want to argue politicians
in Malawi to stop politicking issues to do with the youth, there is great need
for our leaders especially the politicians to appreciate and understand the
role the youths of Malawi can play towards
development of Malawi and distinguish
politics from development.”
In Malawi, with a population of over 15 million people. It’s
almost 70 % of the whole population that has been composed by the youths. It’s
not a fallacy that a given a chance, the youths of Malawi can play an important
role to develop the country.
