President Nana Akufo-Addo has told Aljazeera that legalisation of homosexuality is bound to happen in Ghana if public opinion for it legalisation grows stronger.
“I don’t believe that in Ghana, so far, a sufficiently strong coalition has emerged which is having that impact on public opinion that will say: ‘Change it [the law], let’s then have a new paradigm in Ghana’”.
“I think it is something that is bound to happen like elsewhere in the world, they are activities of individuals of groups”, he said.
But his comments have not gone down well with many Ghanaians, who consider his comments as some kind of an endorsement of homosexuality in the society, and the country likely allowing the practice in the future.
Mr Bentil, however, on his Facebook page wondered why Ghanaians should be bothered about issues such as the legalization or otherwise of homosexuality when there are more pressing social and developmental issues to worry about.
“You don’t have good water, good health, good roads, reliable energy, good education, good transportation, You have women delivering on the floor, people dying from cholera, avoidable floods, open defecation, filthy towns, cities and beaches, and so many disgraceful unacceptable situations!
“And you want government to control what grown men do in their bedrooms!!!!!!!!
“There’s something very wrong with you. Government has no business in bedrooms. It must focus on the list above.!!,” he wrote.
