I don't like this idea of child parliament. It is one of the put money out from window. It is always children of people in government or in high position who will be selected in very undemocratic way. What about children from village and countryside? Are they not able to think like children in the cities? The time of dense and spoiling is over now. Instead, the money use to run this kind of thing can be use to build schools and hire teachers in the village. We are able to communicate today because we were lucky to get education. Therefore all children in Africa must have the same chance. On of the strong recommendation will be to ask all African leaders to cut their salary by 25% and put it in the education. It will not be individual business, but it must be organise in national level.
