“In the space where our children who have studied and excelled in various fields should be given job opportunities by those who are in positions,” said Zamzam.
The lawmaker urged those who have served in the government, especially in leadership positions, to allow others to take over those roles when they retire.
“Many of our children have graduated from universities and vocational training centres. Our children have studied in different institutions, but job opportunities have been scarce for them,” she said.
She called for consideration, noting that many of the youth are missing out on job positions as the scarcity bites.
She also urged the government to ensure those who retire receive their allowances promptly.
"Many retired government employees are yet to receive their allowances and are living in poverty,” she noted.
Zamzam pointed out that some employees had been employed on a contract basis for far too long.
“I recently went to an organisation where the director has been on a contract for two and a half years. He has not been formally appointed and this disappoints me. Even some teachers who have been on internships end up teaching temporarily for a very long time. The same applies to doctors,” said Zamzam.
She said such individuals should be considered when the opportunity arises.
