Wale urges youths to make a change on April 17

CARE coalition leader Matthew Wale has challenged youths in the country to rise up and make their voices be heard on April 17.

Speaking during the launching of the CARE coalition candidate for West Honiara constituency Wilson Mamae, Mr Wale said the voices of youths in this country could bring change this country needs.

The former Opposition Leader said the future of Solomon Islands is in the hands of the youths in this country.

“You can make a difference and the time is now,” he said.

Mr Wale said youths are the ones that will bear most of the suffering that comes from not addressing the challenges facing Solomon Islands now.

“The challenges before us will befall you to address, if we do not address them now. But we can address them now,” he said.

Mr Wale said youths have a strong voice and they should make it count on April 17^th during the National General Elections.

“When you vote CARE, you vote to address them now. All of the policy proposals in education, health and job creation by the CARE coalition are aimed at empowering youths,” he said.

The former Opposition Leader also challenged women to rise up and make their voices count.

He said for far too long women have been taken for granted.

Wale said women have carried the burden to feed and educate our families.

“The CARE policies will make education free to your children, vote for it. CARE policies will create jobs for your children, vote for it. CARE policies will ensure medicines will be available at our clinics and hospitals when you need it, vote for it,” he said.
