Government is responsible for job creation

His argument should first be contextualised within the prevailing economic conditions of unacceptably high rates of unemployment and underemployment, poverty and wealth and income inequalities.  Matambo as the chief of the country’s economic high command has failed to generate new strategies of how the economy can employ its citizens especially the youth.

In realization of this failure he asserts that the government is not responsible for employment creation. He posits that the government’s responsibility is a facilitation role of creating a conducive environment for the private sector to employ Batswana. Who has presided over an economy which is undiversified, with a minute private sector and unable to create jobs?
