JAMES Wapakhabulo, the national political commissar, has said politicians with no records of accomplishment should not claim that they will create employment if they are elected to lead the country, reports Nathan Etengu. He said politicians going around promising heaven should know that "running the state is complicated business particularly when dealing with the international community and financial institutions." "People who have no track record of success in anything should stop going around telling the electorate that if they are elected as presidents of this country, they will create employment," Wapakhabulo told youth who graduated in entrepreneurship skills at the Mbale Private Sector Promotion Centre. He said governments, including those in the developed world, are poor employers. He said it was for this reason that governments in more developed countries tax the rich in order to give some money to the jobless. Ends.
