FISHING WITH THE CHINESE IN
GHANA(AFRICA) IS DANGEROUS- GHANA NAVY IS NOT DOING ENOUGH
Many african
lives has been lost because of the unimaginable treatment given them by the
Chinese while on the boat. One fisherman confessed that the Africans in the
Chinese boats are treated less than human.
These are some of the reasons;
·
They
are not provided with safety dresses
·
They
bath twice in a month while the Chinese bath everyday
·
They
are not provided with good water to drink; thus the water that is used for junk
work that is the water given to them to drink.
·
Sometimes
they spit and blow smoke on them just for fun
Aside this
treatment they also engage in illegal fishing habits. Thus ;
·
The
use other nets aside the ones approved by the food and drugs board of Ghana to catch fingerlings and when
they are suspected by the navy they intentionally shut down the engine to
complicate the investigations.
·
When
an African dies in the course of the journey he is placed where the fishes are packed which is very unhygienic.
They normally don’t report the actual cause of death of Africans to the
authorities and while on the boat, they warn the Africans to keep their mouth shut.
The Africans are also bribed with loads
of fishes when such incidents occur.
According to
the fisherman, Ghana Navy needs to be
strict when it comes to inspections. the good moments on board are moments that
the Navy comes for inspections and they sometimes spend up to a week inspecting
and those are the moments that their employers treat them as humans..... source:asempafm
