Legal practitioner, Moses Foh-Amoaning, says government must shut down the new LGBT office in Accra and persons involved must be arrested as well with immediate effect.
Mr Foh-Amoaning, who is the Executive Director of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, was reacting to a recent fundraiser organised by an LGBT group in the capital.
Speaking in an interview on the Happy Morning Show (HMS) with Samuel Eshun Foh-Amoaning said: “The fundraiser was attended by several diplomats, including US Ambassador to Ghana and the Australian High Commissioner.”
Homosexuality and lesbianism are illegal in Ghana and, therefore, the association will not tolerate any such office in Ghana, trust me it will not happen here under my watch”, Mr Foh-Amoaning emphasised.
Highlighting the negative effects of homosexuality and lesbianism on schoolchildren, Mr Foh-Amoaning recalled that in late 2019, individuals, groups, religious bodies, political parties and some civil society organisations were up in arms over an alleged attempt by the government to introduce the Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) policy as part of the basic school curriculum reforms.
According to Mr Foh-Amoaning, the Ministry of Education, following the outcry, vehemently refuted the claims adding that The presidency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the IGP have every right to investigate that office to close it down immediately and arrest and prosecute those people involved in it,” he said.
