Percival Kofi Akpaloo
Leader of the Liberal Party in Ghana, Percival Kofi Akpaloo, is of the view that prostitution, which is an age-old institution, cannot be abolished.
Rather, leaders in the country can help minimize the number of ladies involved in the trade by creating more jobs.
He noted that most ladies involved in the trade are there because of the unavailability of jobs. “There is no way you can end prostitution.
However, you can reduce the numbers. We need to create jobs because not all the girls there are there because they want it. Some are there because they have no jobs but they have to survive,” he said on Accra-based Kingdom FM.
Akpaloo, who is hopeful of leading Ghana after the December 7 elections, indicated that he will work hard to ensure that these ladies are taken off the streets.
