The Gender, Children and Social Protection Ministry will announce sanctions against managers of the Country Side Children Welfare Home who have been implicated in Anas Aremeyaw Anas’s latest expose today[Tuesday].
The expose tells the story of how inmates at the orphanage are abused and made to go hungry despite several donations from organizations.

“We are monitoring, there is a committee in place even at the district level which monitors. We are having a press conference on the countryside orphanage.”
“We were informed and since December we have been working with Anas on this issue and the children were rescued two weeks ago and they are in the safe custody of the department of social welfare so at 9.30 in the morning, the Ministry will have a press conference where we will tell you generally about what we have done about this expose by Anas and tiger eye and generally what we are doing to better monitor orphanages,” she added.
She also admitted that the Gender Ministry has failed in its mandate of monitoring orphanages throughout the country, saying “we do acknowledge the fact that we have challenges with monitoring orphanages throughout Ghana.”
