Offinso South Municipal Assembly to Institute By-Laws to Curb Child Labour

The Offinso South Municipal Assembly is set to institute by-laws to curb child labour in the municipality. This decision was made by the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Offinso South, Frank Owusu Amoah.

“We are committed to protecting the rights of children and ensuring that they are not exploited or subjected to hazardous work,” said Frank Owusu Amoah.

Child labour is a significant challenge in many parts of Ghana, with children being forced to work in hazardous conditions, often at the expense of their education and well-being.

The Offinso South Municipal Assembly’s decision to institute by-laws to curb child labour is a step in the right direction towards addressing this issue.

The by-laws will be implemented in collaboration with relevant stakeholders, including law enforcement agencies, social services, and community leaders.

The assembly will also work with parents and guardians to educate them on the importance of protecting their children’s rights and preventing child labour.

The Offinso South Municipal Assembly’s decision to institute by-laws to curb child labour is a commendable effort towards protecting the rights of children and promoting their well-being.

It is hoped that this initiative will serve as a model for other municipalities in Ghana to follow.
