I’m not conspiring with gays – Akufo-Addo

When asked if his comments on Aljazeera were part of a grand coordinated scheme to push for the legalisation of homosexuality in Ghana, the president said: “I am not involved in any conspiracies. I am not part of any conspiracy to promote anything.”

He was speaking at his second encounter with journalists since he took office on January 7, 2017.

When asked if his comments on Aljazeera were part of a grand coordinated scheme to push for the legalisation of homosexuality in Ghana, the president said: “I am not involved in any conspiracies. I am not part of any conspiracy to promote anything.”

“I think these are matters that are in the public domain and people are entitled to their own views. There is no concerted synchronised attempt on my part to promote the advocacy of it.”

There was controversy in the country after President Akufo-Addo in an interview with Aljazeera said the legalisation of homosexuality was bound to happen in Ghana even though it is currently not an agenda on the plate.

However, critics said the president should have made an emphatic statement on whether he was for or against the legalisation of homosexuality.
