You stated a howler committed by the Gender Minister. Okay! This error is so glaring; it needn't have been made.
What's your problem again in politicizing the error? If many chn are engaged in labour, tha's even a minus to the govt. By using common sense, one should have expected the Minister to give lower figures instead.
You needlessly devoted your time linking the error to NDC as whole without telling us (readers)the obvious effects of the error.
Next time, don't disservice yourself. Let's contribute our quota towards developing Ghana by drawing leaders' attention anytime they err.

the problem with this northern mentality is that thanks to jj they now all have an unquenchable thirst for power but never to serve in a team or accept their fellow countrymen . just look around in Accra and study the majority of the businesses owned by these northerners and in the majority of the medium and Small sized businesses you notice they only employ their fellow northerners and practically never employ an Akan . Today in Accra the largest religious building in the country will be the mosque being build on our national park at Nima donated by Turkey confirming the Islamic domination of Ghana. Tribalism mixed with chauvinism and despotism from the north has now equaled the hegemony of the ewes . A.C.C.R.A any criminal can roam about so we have them everywhere now . even at the scholarship secretariat hardly ever is an Akan awarded the privilege to go abroad and study now . The Akans are the majority but because most continue to sleep or blindly trust the other tribes these atrocities are taking place . We look at the political strategy of the NDC and see the typical Hannibal wench when he turned the strengths of the mighty Roman army against themselves as they are doing to the Akans . From the south they use part of the Fantis and from the North the Brongs , from behind we have the chariot onslaught of the Gas Ewes Krobos. Yes the political landscape reflects a war which is only meant to destroy the right of self governance of the God's chosen nation of Africa the Akan . For them its a big deal who leads the NPP but we really don't care as our movement grows stronger by the hour as more and more Akans wake up to reality of this dire situation . We did not ask for this war but we will fight it and be victorious as God is with us .

OKATAKYIE LONTO, Nana Oye Lithur and the Finance Minister, Mr Terkper are the only two Ministers in this administration who seems to have their brains calibrated to the minimum centimeter. I was surprised she will even say we have 6.36 million children engaged in child labour out of the 9.7 million 5-17 year olds who are classified as school going children.
According to the records, 86% of children in this age group are actively in school and 14% are not in school so even if we assume the 5-17 year olds not in school are all engaged in child labour, that is less than 1.3 million children which is still too high but not 6.36 million children.

Sarpong,
Those are the symptoms of a hopeless government that does not care a hoot about the people it is supposed to be serving. Didn't another female minister go to a public function and read the wrong speech because she didn't bother to read through what had been written for her?
I will bet my bottom penny that if Mahama had studied the speeches he gave at Kyebi and Kumasi, he would not have said the nonesense he spewed out at the two places. Even his ministers continued to contradict each other; one said he had been misquoted, while another said he was right in saying what he said in Kumasi!
Yesterday the MCE of Agona West unashamedly reported that NINE schools in his district scored ZERO PERCENT at BECE. He is the chairman of the Education Committee that has failed so miserably, but he is now talking about putting the right structures in place "to improve education delivery." And the villagers whose children are being failed so miserably are grinning from ear to ear. The gods are not to blame, the fault is in our stars!

How can Mahama go to Kumasi and send a message that he will not listen to anybody from Ashanti region and dance to that music and expect Npp to be part of the so called Economic forum which was nothing more than a weekend retreat for wining and dinning.

This is article is irrelevant lack merit. Does Sarpong know that we have more children than adults who are counted during census? When did census iclude children? Does Sarpong the cohort of NPP know that yes more children are engaged in child labour as per ILO specification? Sarpong is Ignorant by the content of his article. I wonder how some people are also blinded to the extent of making it political. Research to find out what child labour is perceived and stop the nonsense. I believe Sarpong allow his 5-year old daughter to sell iced water after school but do not understand that it is child labour. Go to the markets and check how many children are engaged in didfferent activities. Yes, we have more children engaged in child labour if you are ignorant, we not.

ILLITERATE DUMBASS, READ THE RESEARCH ON CHILD LABOR ACCORDING TO THE GHANA CENSUS. OF THE 9.7 MILLION CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 5-17 WITH A TOTAL NUMBER OF 9.7 MILLION, ONLY 14% ARE NOT IN SCHOOL AND MIGHT BE WORKING AND THAT IS NOT EVEN TO 1.3 MILLION PEOPLE. THE 6.36 MILLION FIGURE IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE, YOU DUMB FOOL.
"Table 25 shows the activity status of the population aged 5-17 years. As expected, a large proportion (86.0%) of the population in this age bracket is economically not active. Eight in every 10 (80%) of the children who are not economically active are in full time education. Children who are too young to work constitute 10.9 percent of the economically not active child population. Only 14.0 percent of the children are economically active.
