New Ningo (GAR), Aug. 29, GNA - Mr Enoch Teye Mensah, Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo-Prampram, has expressed concern about the upsurge of child trafficking across the borders and called for an effective campaign to stem it.

Speaking at New Ningo to commemorate the Annual Homowo Festival of the chiefs and people in the area, Mr Mensah tasked officials of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union to foster closer links with the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit of the Ghana Police Service in order to fight the menace.

He said the problem was a national issue, which required the involvement of all Ghanaians to help reduce it to the barest minimum. Mr James Doku-Paafio, a private businessman, cautioned the youth to stay away from mob actions and other social vices.
