Cellphone, says Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, may be at the heart of the anger and anxiety among young people but the government believes in its young people and wants to play its part in curbing the unleashing of those emotions.

In her feature address yesterday at the Barbados Football Association’s headquarters in Wildey for the launch of the forthcoming Prime Minister’s Cup, Mottley shared that too many of young people seem angry.

Mottley said that as part of the upcoming tournament scheduled to begin in late August, they will be hosting a few workshops that would help the development of young people. (ML)
