President John Dramani Mahama has urged calm and advocated for dialogue on LGBTQ+ issues, characterising the subject as deeply emotive and sensitive, even within the most liberal democratic societies.
During an engagement with civil society organisations at the Jubilee House in Accra on Monday, March 30, he noted that although the issue is significant, it is not the most pressing challenge confronting the nation.
He stated that Ghana was grappling with some basic issues that ought to be dealt with.
President Mahama noted that Ghana’s position will be guided by the Constitution, respect for human rights, and the need to preserve social cohesion. Ghanaian food recipes
“I explained during my recent engagement with the World Affairs Council that it is not the most important issue we face as a nation.
“We are still grappling with the provisions of basic needs of education, health care, jobs, food, clothing, and shelter,” he stated.
“While there are strong and differing views within our society, we believe that issues must be addressed through democratic processes, our core values, dialogue, and the rule of law,” he said.
He further noted Ghana will continue to uphold its democratic values.
“These developments underscore the importance of continued engagement and mutual respect and of situating our national decisions within our constitutional and cultural context. Ghana will continue to uphold its democratic values while engaging constructively with the international community,” Mahama added.
