Ghana’s Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Ocquaye has said the country will never make homosexuality legal considering the fact that most Ghanaians are against the act.
Debate on homosexuality have taken center stage in various discussions in the country after the President, Nana Akufo-Addo said in an interview that legalising homosexuality in Ghana is bound to happen if there is an overwhelming demand for it.
The President however, indicated that the issue is currently not a priority for Ghanaians.
Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Starr FM, the Speaker of Parliament insisted that the act will not be made legal in Ghana.
According to him, the President in his interview indicated that he will yield to what the people of Ghana want and majority of the people are not in favour of the act and therefore it will not be legalized in the country.
He said “The president said he will yield to what the people of Ghana want and of course Parliament will also yield but I said Ghanaians we have our culture so we will not want that.
“We are Christians, so we will not want that, we are Muslims so we will not want that so where will it pass to come, that is my conclusion as a social scientist.
“It is against Christian ideals, it is against Muslim principles and it is also our moral upbringing so I don’t see how that is going to happen.”
