He argued that a government that cannot cater for its Members of Parliament cannot be trusted to solve the country’s unemployment problem.

“They also said they were going to create one job with three shifts. Mr Speaker, a government that cannot take care of its 189, cannot take care of the many jobless youth that are seeking for jobs.
