If you rather have some brains and think of how our country can move forward, we do not think you should
encourage thievery, lies, deceitful, dishonesty, lies, incompetent, dumso-dumso in a country such as Ghana.

Since Ghana attained her independence,
55 years now, out that years NDC has
been in Government not less than approximately 30 years, where is the poition of our nation now?

Look you are very stupid who only think of a political party a Coup D'etat anscestor who wish our nation
to go hopeless.

I`m not talking about elections and what you read never talked about elections. It talked about child labour so why do we have to connect it with elections? Some of us Ghanainas have baseless arguements without reasoning so that is how it should be. Go ahead and connect every news to elections results. I have no time for such talks.

We have useless MPs in the country. How come MPs could come out with the sort of thinking in connection with child labour. If they were in conditions or situations of such children, would they have had education to be at where they are? Useless human beings. No wonder politicians kill themselves in Africa during election time knowing that the citizenry aren`t educated to know right and wrong. Any useless being wants to be an MP just for the fact that he or she would be rich.

Trokosi is the worst form of child cruelty. Is gross abuse of the Fundamental Human Rights of these girls. IT HAS TO BE BANNED. Kofi Nyidevu Awoonor are you reading?

Female Genital Mutilation is widely practised in the North. Is barbaric, primitive and torture of the worst kind. We only talk and never act and these girls suffer for nothing.

Still there is ritual murder for burial of chiefs in Ghana. This practice for ages been accepted as custom. Is the homeless children who fall victims. Asantehene are you reading?

It is pitty that this is a discussion. We all know that Ghanaian community is sick and they treat children as their workhorse.

A child is not a 8 hour a day workforce, even if the child is on holiday. Helping with errands should stick with that. In Ghana, parents and society uses children as young as 8 years old to lift heavy stuff and work whole days on farms and etc..THAT IS SICK!

Let put you who are pro-child labour to work 24 hour...I will bet that your live would not last that long...SICK SOCIETY!!

It's a pity when we view our national situation with global goggles. When are we going to differentiate between Child Labour and Traditional Child Education? What is the "Ghanaian community" and whose "children" should be your "workhorse" if not your own?
1. Which school teaches our fishermen how to paddle canoes? Isn't the fisherman left to his dug-out because he can't (not even their cooperative) invest in a trawler, and your modern ways? Let you and your grown up brothers go and be employed there.
2. Whose "children" did you expect to go and "...lift heavy stuff and work whole days on farms..."? How would you want the cocoa farms developed to support the country? Who wants to become a cocoa farmer anyway?
3. Who trains the next generation of Fulani cattle herdsmen? Who's thinking about (western) education for the little ones?
You call the community sick, because you have a privilage of enjoying improvements in other societies? I'm not a "pro-child labour" proponent, neither do I condemn those training their children to take over their businesses; I am just an advocate of government developing structures to enhance continuity in our traditional businesses.

Bloody idiots they don't know the definition of child labour, how then do you debate it in parliament. when developed countries are doing we want to copy them. In developed countries, parents get help from the government if they have children. in Ghana the government does nothing for parents with children so how could the government prevents children from helping their parents. if government stop corruption and stealing, they would be able help parents.

The indigenous training made more stronger and better focussed. What we need now are educational structures that develop our children for success in life. For now I think a JSS drop out is worse off than a child that spent those 3 years on the cocoa farm!

This is the first time I have seen members of parliament debating issues before the house in national character.
