Executive Director of Child Rights International, Bright Appiah has called on the Electoral Commission and other stakeholders to check the use of children by political parties in advertisements as a means of disseminating their policies. This, in his view, violates their rights.
Speaking to Radio Ghana, he argued that the law indicates that children must be protected, so it is a violation of the rights of children if political parties use them in advertisements.
He, therefore, tasked the EC to ensure that the political parties follow certain prescriptions before putting out the advertisements to protect children.
