BDP fails to create jobs for the youth

This embarrassing reality of the BDP leadership not comprehending the economy is signified by the President's chosen and highly drummed priorities. The President who has since modelled himself as the BDP/party policy has set his economic development priorities as Ipelegeng, young farmers fund, Limid, distribution of Chinese blankets rejects, backyard gardening and few other meaningless initiatives like housing appeal. In setting these as his economic development priorities, the President and his government have failed to dissect the country's economy, which has led to them failing to provide the best remedy for the current economic ills bedevilling the youth, hence the current high rate of youth unemployment. The daily episodes showing President Khama on Btv distributing blankets are taken so serious and given high prominence because the President and his leadership do not understand what to do to provide economic leadership, this being a result of leadership crisis in the BDP. Much time is wasted on nothing concrete by those who should be providing economic leadership.
