Create job opportunities

MOROBE, the fastest growing province in terms of development and human migration, has experienced a decline in employment and opportunities over the years.
The Morobe government through its Gerson Solulu scholarship scheme since its inception in 2000 has been the foundational support for rural Morobeans and city dwellers benefitting from school fee assistance.
The recent graduation of students from tertiary institutions not only add the scores to our human capital but to the growing unemployment of students who graduated years ago but still queuing up while sectors are dominated by aging public servants.
The Morobe government should create employment opportunities for its scholarship recipients so as to retain its investment.
Morobe government spends about K8 to K10 million on scholarship yearly and end up losing 90 to 95 per cent of graduates.
Since the inception of the scholarship 19 years ago, the provincial government spent around K120 to K140 million on fees but fail to establish proper mechanisms in place to accommodate the recipients into the workforce.
Our taxpayers of Morobe and rural folks are complaining in silent about the lack of public servants and aging staff in the workforce.
The provincial government should look at providing accommodation, incentives and send graduates to rural areas of their designated roles.
It can then rotate them on a yearly basis from district to district within Morobe while training and moulding them to replace those aging staff.
There are other approaches the provincial government could take but why is it taking too long?
More than 19 years of funding students who are not residing and working in the province is a slap in the face of taxpayers and stakeholders of Morobe. The issue is long overdue, the provincial government should act now.
Establish mechanism to accommodate human resources into the workforce before others capitalise on that.
Over to you all the Maus bilong kundus at Tutumang.
