Make defence of homosexuals treasonable – Government urged
The government of President Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo must enact laws that will make the
defence of homosexuals a treasonable offence in
the country, the Movement for the Kingdom Image
(MFKI) has said.

A statement issued and signed by the president of
the group, Osempakani Kaakyire Kifi said: “The
Movement for the Kingdom Image (MFKI) wants to
entreat the Akufo-Addo government to immediately
enact a legislation that would make a mere defence
of homosexuality a treasonable offence to control
the unnecessary defence of the sacrilegious and
abominable act of lesbianism and [gayness] by some
unscrupulous individuals and groups in the
country.

“We believe Ghana is not ready now or ever to
accept this inhuman and ungodly behaviour, but the
government must show its commitment not just by
word of mouth but rather by a law that will
restrict people from trying to defend the act.

“We observed with the greatest disappointment
and panic over the past week how the Amnesty
International confidently and without any shame
came out to defend and called for the legalisation
of homosexuality in Ghana in the name of human
rights observation.”

The statement added: “His Excellency the
president of Ghana Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has
all the powers either to accept or decline the
legalisation of the act, therefore, we are
appealing to the president to see the need to
enact harsh laws to deal recklessly with those
outcasts who want legalisation of homosexuality in
Ghana.

“We also urge parliament of Ghana to be
committed to this issue and push for a strict
legislation as Ghanaians, not NDC or NPP, because
when it happens it will affect us and our
generations yet unborn without asking which
political parties they belong to. God must reign
in this country, not insanity.”
