<\/a><\/p>\nHe further explained that these girls are promised monthly salaries ranging from $1000 to $2000 which is far more than what they are paid when they get there.<\/p>\n
He narrated how \u201ca 19 year old Ghanaian girl, had her whole body burnt,\u201d describing the burns as \u201ca first degree burn.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Sinare, the girl was abandoned by her employer and \u201ca good Samaritan took her to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s alive still in the hospital, still undergoing surgery and it\u2019s so bad\u201d, he fumed.<\/p>\n
Alhaji Said Sinare\u00a0who visited the said victim at a hospital in Kuwait described the situation as “terrible and dangerous.”<\/p>\n
He is therefore calling for the abolishment of the ‘Visa 20’ plan which makes it possible for women from Ghana to be hired as cooks and other domestic workers to Kuwait and other gulf states.<\/p>\n
He stated that this \u201cneeds to stop and we need to do this now.\u00a0For as long as this is not stooped, the abuse by the Kuwaiti employees will still go on,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
The Ghana Ambassador to Saudi Arabia indicated that Ghana will not be the first country to stop the \u2018Visa 20\u2019 plan, citing Nigeria and Cote D\u2019Ivoire as examples of countries that have abolished this plan.<\/p>\n
