Ghana: NGOs Condemn Government Over Children's Act

The president of the national coalition of non-governmental organisations on the rights of the child, Mr. Nelson Godfred Agyeman, has condemned the government's inability to protect, enforce and implement the laws and conventions made to advance the rights and development of children. According to him, since 1990 when Ghana took leadership in the ratification of the convention on the rights of the child, no serious effort has been made by the government towards full implementation.
