South Sudan assembly’s committee of legislation and legal affairs has presented on Wednesday the Child Bill to the assembly for deliberation in the second reading.
One of the chapters of the Child Bill is proposing that children should be given employment rights at the age of fourteen years and be paid for their work.
However the minister of parliamentary affairs Elias Lomoro told the Assembly that the age of fourteen is too low for a child to be employed.
The speaker of the south Sudan Legislative assembly James Wani Iga decided that more deliberations on the Bill would continue on Monday next week so that the parliament can critically discuss it before the Bill is passed.
