The Popular Democratic Movement's (PDM) MP Maximalliant Katjimune has voiced concerns about tying student loan forgiveness to job creation at NSFAF.

Katjimune emphasised the necessity of a comprehensive approach, underscoring that not all youth aspire to be entrepreneurs and stressing the importance of equal opportunities for everyone.

Katjimune was contributing to the motion on incentivizing NSFAF loan beneficiaries for entrepreneurship and job creation by the Deputy Minister of Works and Transport, Veikko Nekundi.

The cancellation of the National Assembly's Wednesday session raised eyebrows among members, as it was deemed neither procedural nor in line with parliamentary rules.

The Deputy Speaker, Loide Kasingo, apologised and cited unspecified reasons for the cancellation.
