In Malawi, about 78,000 children are working in tobacco harvesting. According to Plan International report, most of them have sickness relating to tobacco, working 12 hours a day and being paid only 17 cents. However, the prime minister in Malawi, Yunnus Mussa, has refused what Plan report and Spiller, who investigated Green Tobacco Sickness(GTS), have uncovered. Mussa claims that the government has been trying to stop children laboring. However, it is still serious that children are in poverty and working in poor conditions.
