Maracha District female Youth Councilor Hon Sarah Amazi blamed government policy that was in place that time which grouped the Youths from 15 to 30 in a group, which she said, became very difficult to be manageable.

Hon Amazi said, the District Youth council recently sat for a meeting and passed a resolution to recover these monies from the defaulters as she affirmed their commitment of taking the programme seriously.
