Although President Akufo-Addo has indicated that same-sex marriage would not be legalised in his administration, the Ningo Prampram legislator says the comment is not enough.

“Could the Australian Ambassador or a Danish Ambassador, if their letters of credence had come from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, would they have attended?” he quizzed.
The group’s office in Accra has since been shut down following a plethora of criticisms from a cross-section of Ghanaians.
