A human rights advocate and health worker Nyame-Ayeyi Delasie Nhyira has fired shots at the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Preampram Samuel N. George over the proposed anti-gay bill.
The legislator has slammed his critics describing, them as perverts and goons.
Mr. George said nothing is going to stop them from the proposed bill which passed would criminalize the sponsoring, promotion, advocacy and formation of all forms of LGBTQI+ groups.
Persons who would violate the law would serve not more than ten years imprisonment.
It proposed that “a person who, by use of media, technological platform, technological account or any other means, produces, procures, markets, broadcasts, disseminates, publishes or distributes a material for purposes of promoting an activity prohibited under the Bill, or a person uses an electronic device, the Internet service, a film, or any other device capable of electronic storage or transmission to produce, procure, market, broadcast, disseminate, publishes or distribute a material for purposes of promoting an activity prohibited under the Bill commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a term of imprisonment of not less than five years and not more than ten years.”
But the advocate says the bill when passed would cut funding for all HIV-AIDS related activities championed by the Ghana AIDS Commission.
”The bill will cripple and affect service provision in areas of Malaria, Tuberculosis, Cervical Cancer, Maternal and Infants Mortality, Access to Portable Water, Etc. which are supported with huge funds from donors.”
”Cutting funding, advocacy and criminalising persons or organisations which render services to LGBTIQ+ will equally shut down HIV interventions for key populations like MSM, female sex workers, persons living with HIV, it will affect public institutions such as Country Coordinating Mechanism, Ghana AIDS Commission, National AIDS Control Program, Ghana Health Service, Etc who receive funding from major donors like Global Fund, USAID to carry out interventions within public health settings.”
