About 20,000 children are reportedly working as slaves on the Volta Lake in Ghana according to a CNN documentary posted on the facebook wall of the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
In his post, he said the government should find ways of addressing this issue instead of focusing on 'a leaked tape'.
"It’s obvious Government’s entire focus this week has been on its grand diversionary strategy with that alleged leaked tape following Anas’ latest revelations; however, Government should now turn attention to this. It would be a fatal mistake not to closely assess the claims by CNN" he wrote.
Read his entire post below;
The CNN special report on “child slavery” in Ghana continues to air without any official response from Government. Not even a request for the “raw unedited footage.”
This report cannot be good for our international image.
It’s obvious Government’s entire focus this week has been on its grand diversionary strategy with that alleged leaked tape following Anas’ latest revelations; however, Government should now turn attention to this. It would be a fatal mistake not to closely assess the claims by CNN.
Reports of this nature can have far-reaching ramifications if not strongly challenged when the claims are disputable or adequately responded to in terms of Government’s remedial measures, that is, if we concede that truly 20,000 children live in SLAVERY on the Volta lake though I honestly have my doubts.
Silence must not be an option.
Urgent action required - Ghana 🇬🇭 first!

hmm politicans steals or manipulate projects to enrich themselves & their families? They have some nerves to come out clean to be thou holier and concern? Do they really care about these young lives? Improve drinking water, more toilet facilities, better roads, hospitals etc. When you put all the above in place then you continue championing for better lives for these young children. CYTO SCHOOLS AT DEPLORABLE STATES & YOUR CHILDREN ARE IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS WITH AIR CONDITIONS IN THEM.TRUE OR A LIE?
Skull head!!CNN advertise a documentary,you dont even watch it and yet you go to town yelling! Such an oaf as an MP!! No wonder Mahama's govt did formula 1 in reverse gear. To think such was a minister of state in charge of tertiary education. ugh,ummpphhhh!!!
Look at his ofrigyato face. Is this new? What did your unpródućtive thīėfîng self do about it when you were in power? Mõröń!
This sla e issue has been there for decades. It is no news. What did you do when you were in power?
Where did they get that 20,000 from? Haba we are waiting for the government to have a say in this ru-bbish story. When a country tries harder to get its economy on track then they come with this b-u-l-l as a diversion to tarnish the image of the country. This tactics will not work.
What did you do about it when you were in power. Fo.o.lish talk. NPP will keep on talking about the leaked tape until everyone knows the type of people NDC are.
