THE YOUTH VOTE: According to State Minister for Youth, Floyd Green, a brand new National Youth Policy has been tabled in the House. “It’s basically a document that says what the government will do for young people to deal with unemployment, abuse, health and well-being and other issues,” Green has said. Some 16 young people, he revealed, have been selected to serve as advisors to the government on issues concerning the local youth population. “At the ministry, we fundamentally believe that young people have the solutions to almost all the problems, but they need to be given the opportunity and the platforms,” Green says. “If given the opportunity, young people will transform this country once and for all. And we are about to give them those platforms.”
