Kasanda urges youths to turn up in numbers today

Minister of Information and Media, Chushi Kasanda says march pasts to commemorate this year’s youth day which falls today March,12, 2022 will take place in provinces and districts across the country.

Ms Kasanda says this is contrary to social media platforms alleging that there will be no march pasts to commemorate tomorrow’s youth day.

Encouraging youths to ignore the contrary social media reports but turn up in number to commemorate their day tomorrow, the minister indicated that this year’s youth day celebration is special as it is the first one under the UPND government since coming into office over six months ago.

“This day marks an important beginning for the Youths under the UPND government, which has demonstrated great passion and commitment to the welfare of the Youths in the country,” she said.

This year’s youth day commemoration is being held against the backdrop of significant strides that government has made to improve the welfare of the Youths in the country.

The strides include various youth empowerment schemes and programmes which government is rolling-out country wide.

“There is therefore every reason for youths to commemorate their day as they forge on renewed future and government as they participate in national development,” she said.

She also indicated that government reaffirms its commitment to the development of youths into skilled and responsible citizens that can contribute meaningfully to the development of the country.

  1. I like you kasanda as a person and given our history I will always cherish you. But what I will never agree with is your politics. We are in national mourning!! How can you tell people to celebrate youth day when we are mourning the loss of a very important father who contributed alot to this nation? You people does upnd have manners?? You are all f00Is

  2. Youths are saddened by too much taxes. High commodity prices, and that dude wants us to march?

  3. LIFE HAS TO GO ON THE 1.D.10.T K Z above wants everything to come to a standstill
    LIFE IS ABOUT THE LIVING NOT THE DECEASED
    THERE IS A TIME FOR MOURNING ITS NOT TODAY
    TAXES ARE MANDITORY AND WHAT DIRECT TAXES DO THE YOUTH PAY
    COMMODITIES ?? WELL YOU CAN BLAME PF FOR THAT AS THEY ARE THE ONES
    THAT INCREASED OUR DEBT BURDEN

  4. You block people from seeking audience with HH to talk about important issues affecting them. Today you want the same people to turn out in numbers to match baselessly over something that won’t put food on their tables. What kind of thinking is that? Do you see youths in developed countries matching on these useless days? What will they achieve from matching? Start thinking about doing things that will bring productivity in the country rather that matching. UPND is more useless than any party before. You portrayed yourselves as intelligent but you’re worse than a grade 7 failure. I also agree with KZ, respect the death of our former president by stopping this celebration unless you’re happy that he’s dead. Pathetic!

  5. ONLY A F000LL CAN AGREE WITH KZ
    HE HAS NEVER OFFERED ANYTHING USEFUL EXCEPT HIS OWN IMPORTANCE WHICH IS IN HIS MIND ONLY

  6. Most youths run mobile money booths. The business has become very competitive for one to leave the booth just to go and listen to sweet talk by a well fed, well dressed MINISTER.

  7. To achieve the above subject matter its consider essential that the Members of state should first go through a process of monetary harmonization with a view to achieve macro economic convergence in order to progress being made to prove ward’s and contribute the environment facilitate the reallocation of capital city bank
