Drama unfolded at the Netherland House of Representatives (Parliament) Thursday, when Tofik Didi, 32, a Member of Parliament (MP) with the Green Left (GroenLinks) Party, bamboozled the Ministers of Justice, Security and Foreign Affairs with thought-provoking questions on the activities of Dutch “sex tourists” in some parts of the world. Amongst the many questions posed to the Minister were: “Is it that in the case of the suspect from Limburg (Arthur Paes) Dutch investigations were cancelled because of the Ghanaian judicial investigations into the matter? If so, were you aware that the suspect was released on the day of his arrest? And were you aware of the fact that the spokesperson for the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) said that the suspect was released on bail after paying money, while it is not allowed to release suspects of defilement on bail?” Also, “What was the reason for the release and how does that Ghanaian decision relate to the Dutch law on prosecution? And is it true that the suspect (Arthur Paes), despite the suspicions against him, can travel undisturbed between the Netherlands and Ghana?” The Green Left MP further asked whether it could be concluded that the allegations against Arthur Paes - both in Ghana and the Netherlands - remain uninvestigated and to what extent this example represented the Dutch approach to child sex tourism, adding, “Does this example actually show that the Dutch approach to child sex tourism lacks vigor?” Hon. Tofik Didi’s questions on Arthur Paes followed an earlier one he was asked on whether the ministers realized that the trend in child sex tourism appeared to be shifting from Asia to Africa and Latin America, and that Ghana appears to be the ideal hunting grounds for Dutch sex tourists. The question that appeared to daze the ministers more was how they intended to prevent and combat child sex tourism, how many cases of Dutch sex cases had been investigated, and what measures would be taken to fight and prevent child sex tourism vigorously. It will be recalled that in the article "Paradise for Pedo's”, One World magazine followed the now 17-year-old Ruth, who is trying to bring the Dutchman (Arthur Paes) to court for allegedly systematically raping her since she was only eight years old. According to the publication, Ghana is the perfect hunting ground for Dutch child sex tourists. Pedophiles present themselves as volunteers or philanthropists and that, despite the strict Dutch and Ghanaian laws; they are still free and continue their abuse. But investigations reveal that she is not the only Ghanaian girl who is abused by a Dutch pedophile. Dutch expats in Accra easily point out the names of three other Dutch men they suspect of defilement of minors. Also, in 2006, a Ghanaian Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) - Coalition On The Rights Of The Child -published an alarming report about the growing amount of child sex tourist coming to Ghana. "Nowadays, every Westerner can buy a plane ticket to Ghana, even those with bad intentions. But Ghanaians don’t realize that,” observes Ghanaian lawyer, Irene Aborchie. "In the Netherlands, children learn to beware of strangers who offer candy; in Ghana the parents teach them to befriend a white who does this," she added. The Dutch ministers of Justice and Foreign Affairs called the combat against child sex tourism ‘a priority’, but although the Dutch Attorney General’s department is allowed to prosecute Dutch pedophiles when they commit their crimes in another country, none of the Dutch suspects in Ghana is brought to court.
