The founder and leader of Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) Mr. Kofi Akpaloo has promised Ghanaians to make the irresponsible fathers in the country more responsible to take up their responsibilities if voted to power comes 2020 general election.
According Mr. Akpaloo in an exclusive interview with brightwebtv.com disclosed that there are a lot of fathers who are running away from their homes instead of taken up their rightful responsibilities.
According to him children who grow up without fathers are five times more likely to live in poverty, more likely to commit crime, drop out of school, abuse drugs, and end up in prison.
He added that it is right time fathers need to realize that responsibility does not end at conception. We need them to understand that what makes a man is not the ability to have a child, it’s the courage to raise one.
“Liberal Party in government will support fathers by providing training to get jobs, removing tax penalties on married families, and expanding maternity and introduce paternity leave, he reiterated.
Liberal Party will reward those who are responsibly supporting their children by giving them a tax credit and LPG will crack down on men who neglect their children to pay child support.
