“This is not merely a legal issue; it strikes at the very core of our national values. Enshrining such provisions in the Constitution would have profound implications for our moral and cultural identity,” he stated.
The Minority is also calling on President Mahama and the NDC to issue an apology to Ghana’s religious and traditional leaders, accusing them of reneging on commitments related to the anti-LGBT bill.
According to Rev. Ntim Fordjour, assurances were previously given to churches, Muslim leaders, and traditional authorities that the bill would be given priority if the NDC came into power. However, he noted that the government’s current stance appears to signal a departure from that promise.
“We were led to believe that this bill would be a top priority once they assumed office. What we are witnessing now is a clear shift, and it represents a breach of the trust that religious and traditional leaders placed in them,” he said.
