The Minister-designate of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Mrs Sarah Adwoa Safo has muscularly said that there’s no place for Lesbianism, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) in Ghana and she will do her possible best to see to it that the West’s agenda never sees light.
The Member of Parliament for the Dome-Kwabenya constituency made her stance known in front of Parliament’s Appointments Committee during her vetting process yesterday.
According to her, the controversial issue of LGBTQI is unlawful and has no place in Ghana’s cultural setting hence the need for it to be strongly criminalized before things get out of hands.
She said;
Mr Chair, the issue of LGBT is an issue that when mentioned, it creates some controversy but what I want to say is that our laws are clear on such practice. It makes it criminal. Section 104 of the Criminal Code prohibits one from having unnatural carnal knowledge with another person. So, on the issue of its criminality, it is non-negotiable.
On the issue of our cultural acceptance and norms, these practices are also frowned upon. So, for me, these are two distinct clarities on the matter and that is what I strongly stand for
