The Founder of Journalists Against LGBTQI+ Boamah Darko Isaac has expressed disappointment in President Akufo-Addo for failing to address the controversial issue in his state of the nation address.
According to him, it was a perfect opportunity for the president to have stated his position on the matter despite his recent comments he made at a church event recently.
He explained that the group was shocked the president failed to touch on the matter because in their view you do not formulate laws in a church but parliament and so, it was important for the President to have addressed the issue. He should have reiterated the position so that it would have gone into the records of parliament.
It seems the President is not sure of what his position is on the LGBTQI+. It means we cannot trust the President on LGBTQI+. The possibility that we could have a law passed to allow LGBTQI+ persons to have their freedom is high,” he added.
Meanwhile, he has commended the eight MPs who have decided to sponsor the Private Members Bill to once and for all deal with the matter.
He said they would follow the bill and see to it passage and also impress upon the President to assent it.
He noted if the President fails to assent then they would be convinced that the President is not against LGBTQI+.
