Pentecostal/Charismatic Council calls for closure of LGBTQI Office
The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council
(GPCC) has called on the Government to close down,
without delay, the alleged Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender and Queer Intersex Rights (LGBTQI)
office in Accra.








It also asked government to arrest and prosecute
the brains behind establishing the office.
The action is necessary to prevent the breach of
the Ghanaian laws and potential threat to peace.

A statement signed by the Reverend Professor Paul
Frimpong-Manso, on behalf of the National
Executive Council, and copied to the Ghana News
Agency on Monday, said government must summon all
foreign diplomats who allegedly participated in
the opening of the office and let them know that
their action was in violation of the sovereignty
of the country.

“We also call on Parliament as the
representatives of the people to summon the
President’s Representatives at the Ministries of
Foreign Affairs and the Interior to explain to
Ghanaians what actions they have taken in relation
to this matter to protect the sovereignty and
security of the state of Ghana,” the statement
said.

“We also support the call for a comprehensive
legislation to deal with the LGBTQI issues in
Ghana once and for all to settle any future
controversies.”

It said the Council was working closely with other
ecumenical and interfaith groups through the
National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights
and Family Values to build a strong national
resistance to any move by external forces.

The move includes hoisting on Ghanaians any
neo-liberal backward policies that denigrated
their long held cultural values and dignity as a
sovereign nation.

“In conclusion, the GPCC is very resolute in its
stance against the LGBTQI movement and its
activities in Ghana and is standing firm with all
other stakeholders on this matter…”

The Statement expressed the hope that
“government would take concrete steps to
reassure Ghanaians of their unwillingness to
succumb to pressure from some notable western
powers to sell out our cherished values and to
safeguard the future of our children from a
perverse generation.… to destroy us.”

The action is also completely at variance with the
laws of God as spelt out in the Holy Bible
concerning God’s plan of creation and the
sanctity of marriage between man and woman, it
said.

“While reaffirming our support to the National
Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and
Family Values and other like-minded groups on
their positions on this matter, the Council calls
on government to officially state its position
without any equivocation on this new
development,” the statement said.
