Toobu who is a member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Interior and Defence says the practice where applicants are made to pay for forms amounts to extortion and exploitation of the youth.

The situation compelled the member of parliament for Madina to hit out at the government for not making the forms free. “The current regime is exploitative as it puts too much pressure on the already distressed youth searching for jobs.
