The Acting President of the Efutuakwa Traditional Area, Nana Afransie, has admonished President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to ensure that the anti-LGBTQI+ Bill is passed by Parliament.
The traditional leader says the cultural values of the Ghanaian community frowns on LGBTQI+.
She made the appeal when President Akufo-Addo paid a courtesy call on her at Assin Fosu as part of his tour of the Central Region on Monday, October 18, 2021.
According to her, all the chiefs in the region are against LGBTQ+ activities.
“God created man and woman, but some people want to change this, which is not acceptable by our culture. We urge you to ensure the passage of the anti-LGBTQI+ Bill because all chiefs in this region are against it. So do well to ensure the bill is passed.”
The ‘Proper Human Sexual and Ghanaian Family Values Bill’ 2021, bill prescribes that people of the same sex who engage in sexual activity could be fined or jailed for between three to five years.
The Bill is a private members’ legislation sponsored by eight Members of Parliament – seven from the NDC and one from the NPP.
