FAULTY AND FALSE START, MARTHA
Author: Tyle Posted: 2013-02-07 10:43:34 Even if “unnatural canal knowledge is a criminal offence" the gay like any other criminal still has rights. Do we say because a person is a homosexual, he should not be employed in any capacity? Because a person is a homo they be killed because they do not have the rights to life or to live? Martha must come again. She needs to review her understanding of the law and not to play to popular nonsense. I think she made a fault start and we shall watch critically how she bails herself out of this. People should not use their religious background or their own perceptions to determine what is right, The law is there and the law gives the rights to every human being. I had planted some hope in Martha against the backdrop of her sterling performance at the COMMISSION that probed the Ghana Jubilee celebrations but I am afraid the hope is shaking now.
MINISTER DESIGNATE ON DEATH PENALTY
Author: KWABENA OHEMENG,LONDON Posted: 2013-02-07 10:52:04 Marietta, your reasons for not supporting the death penalty is flawed.People steal and are jailed buT stealing still goes on.Does that mean that thieves should not be jailed.SO MANY MURDERRES HAVE BEEN JAILED ,RELEASED AND COMMITTED MURDERS AGAIN[SERIAL KILLERS]They could not have committed more murders if the death penalty had been imposed on them.Also there are so many families and friends of murdered people who have expressed satisfaction with death penalties.The death penaly is also an effective deterrent to potential murderers.In societies without the death penalty precious lives are being taken for frivolous reasons.Iam a strong supporter of the death penalty when guilt beyond doubt is established before a competently established court of law.Life imprisonment without parole to me means a sheer waste of state resources.

Comparing Apples to Oranges
Author: Sappey Agbo Posted: 2013-02-07 11:02:31 I think the honourable Minister-designate missed the point. There's a difference between Human Rights and criminal law. Human rights are not conferred on anyone, they are bonafide rights every human being automatically acquires at birth. The criminal law code frowns on the act of unnatural carnal knowledge but not the inaliable fundamental human rights of every individual. Please lets learn to differentiate between the rights and laws. Even convicted criminals have rights.

TACKLE THE ISSUE HEAD ON, GHANAIANS!
Author: COMMANDO Posted: 2013-02-07 11:14:08 WHY DO GHANAIANS BEHAVE THIS ISSUE DOES NOT EXIST. YOU HAVE DESIGNATED A COMMUNITY FOR THEM, SODOM &GOMORRAH, SO WHY COW TOW ABOUT RECOGNIZING THEM?
MY PROBLEM WITH THIS WHOLE ISSUES IS THAT WE ARE GIVING IT MORE CONSIDERATION THAN IT IS WORTH. HATING GAYS WILL NOT MAKE THE ISSUE GO AWAY, TO THE CONTRARY! GHANAIANS MUST REMEMBER, 'WHAT YOU RESIST PERSISTS!' LETS FACE THE ISSUE HEAD ON WITH THE GAY COMMUNITY AND TRASH IT OUT! THAT IN MY VIEW IS THE CIVILISED WAY OF GOING ABOUT MATTERS OF THIS SORT. THREATENING TO KILL THEM WILL NOT MAKE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY.
WHAT ABOUT RESEARCH IN THE OPPOSITE?
Author: Paul Amuna Posted: 2013-02-07 11:16:12 A lot of the arguments are based on the impact of the death sentence as a deterrent but has anyone bothered to examine the impact of removal of the death sentence in countries e.g. UK and the murder rates?
Yes, it is true that the healing process from families' point of view is more complex and will not result from executing the perpetrator of murder. Of course not, because that still does not bring back their loved one. However if we rely mostly on research from the US, that can be very misleading. Examine research from elsewhere in Europe, China, Singapore, other parts of Asia and the Arab Gulf for example if you are talking about deterrents.
Unless you do proper research examining all the issues and taking into account culture, access to weapons etc. you cannot draw such a simplistic conclusion. Whereas 'murder weapons' are easily obtainable in the United States (their constitution allows them e.g. to bear arms), in which case, even with a death sentence you still have high rates of such crimes, by virtue of the sheer number of people with access to such weapons alone; in other societies (including Ghana's) the law prohibits e.g. the bearing of arms. Therefore you will find that the type of weapon(s) used to commit murder in Ghana are not the same as those commonly used in the US. That in itself is a major deterrent although not full proof.
Surely if one person, by virtue of their advantage e.g. of carrying illegal arms, has another at their mercy and tortures or kills them because they are simply powerless to defend themselves, then surely, there must be the option for the state to give the ultimate punishment as part (not of retribution Madame Minister, but) of justice. I disagree with the minister-designate's characterisation of the state's act as "murder by the State". And yes, this will be a deterrent in my view. Otherwise wicked, lawless and murderous people will walk with impunity in the knowledge that whatever they do to others, the worst will be to be in prison where they are guaranteed free food, housing etc (however appalling the conditions there).
They also have the impudents to argue for yes, their "human rights". These are the bread and butter issues we should be discussing more of as a nation. These are my personal opinions on the matter.
Ghana's Constitution
Author: Osabere Kototo Posted: 2013-02-07 11:17:55 "The Justice Minister-designate told the vetting committee of Parliament on Thursday that the position of the law on homosexuality is clear-“unnatural canal knowledge is a criminal offence,” she reiterated." I am disappointingly surprised. Why should this women be quoting the criminal law while she should be quoting the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, which guarantees the fundamental human rights to Ghanaian? Does the minister-designate also know that the 1992 Constitution is the supreme law of the land and for that matter, trumps any statutory law?
2. And what does she mean by this: "the practice of death sentence, ... has no use in Ghana’s statute books." Does she mean that the law exists in Ghana but it is no longer relevant? She needs to be clearer in her argument.

DEATH PENALTY THE BEST
Author: OMANBA Posted: 2013-02-07 12:37:45 The death penalty is the most effective deterrent to murders.No human being has the right to take his fellow human being's life and the state being the ultimate regulator of its citizens' lives has the right to impose the death penalty.If murderers have the right to live the murdered also have the right to justice and in this case the death penalty.LIFE IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT PAROLE IS NOT THE OPTION BECAUSE IT GIVES THE MURDERER THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND EAT.IT IS ALSO A DRAIN ON A COUNTRY'S FINANCIAL RESOURCES.
Re: Ghana’s constitution frowns upon gay rights- J
Author: Analyst Posted: 2013-02-07 12:44:24 It is very clear that when we talking about homosexuality, we are all not on the same frequency. I don't think any Ghanaian will say that someone has the right to practice gay. Human rights does not mean the right to do anything. Nobody has the right to do evil or sin. Gayism is clearly a sinful act which cannot be tolerated by our law. The bible abhors all sins including homosexuality.
But what human rights activists are advocating is that those who unfortunately find themselves as gays should not be beaten, harassed, stigmatized, discriminated against or killed unlawfully.All human beings have human rights which can be taken away only by a court of competent jurisdiction.
According dignity to all persons without discrimination is what human rights is about.

MADAME MARIETTA, YOU SAY WHAT?
Author: Yaa Posted: 2013-02-07 14:29:38 Are you really a LAWYER, Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah Oppong? If so, what on earth leads you to believe that "homosexuality" = sodomy/"unnatural carnal knowledge"?
Does this mean that men who like to bugger their wives and girlfriends are homosexuals?? Do all homosexual men spend every minute of their waking lives buggering each other or thinking of ways to find someone to bugger?
Please, let's grow up and have a sensible discussion nationally about this subject. As for Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah Oppong, I think she needs some free, quality SHS so she can reacquaint herself with the English language and maybe do some foundation work in semantics.

Constitutition frowns on gay rights.....
Author: A Concern Citizen Posted: 2013-02-07 14:57:17 Do you know that when we were children, if two boys have sex through the anus, they were severely punished. It is called "ATUDIE" in our language. Have you guys thought about what happens when two men or two women have sex, they can't get pregnant,so my question is how then can they populate the earth with children? If you gays want to practice your homosexuality, leave peoples children alone, don't adopt any ones child get your own. You think you are wiser than God.Think about the points I have given here, and don't be fooled by the Western World.
constitution frowns on homosexuality
Author: papa gaga Posted: 2013-02-07 15:10:19 Homosexuality has no colour,so how do we detect if someone is gay or lesbian.How do we recognize men who always sex the backside of their wives.There are lots of men who are married to women just to cover up their being gay.Those two guys at TRassacco valley are a typical example.One of the wives is aware of the relationship between her husband and the other woman's friend.tHERE IS no problem at home bcos the women have time to also do their own thing and ther is money so no problem at all at home.

Politicians playing with fire
Author: Cantankerous Posted: 2013-02-07 15:33:08 The constitution is subject to the will of the vast majority of Ghanaians.THE VAST MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS want nothing to do do with the gay lifestyle. Our politicians including President Mahama had better sit up and take notice of this incontrovertible fact. They are treading on thin ice!!! The public mood could turn very ugly against any politician or government seen to encourage or promote practices that most Ghanaians regard as an abomination.

Gay Love
Author: European Union Posted: 2013-02-07 18:19:05 We in Europe are watching how horribly uneducated and blockheaded African people are according to the fact that 10 % of the population worldwide would prefer a mate of the same sex. It is of course only up to themselves. Others have nothing to fear or worry. But socoieties on the whole are developping very well if people are given the right to marry and live with a person they themselves prefer. It is a horrible reading that people in paParlamentary status are not educated enough in these matters. It is for us Europeans like turning the time back 50 - 100 years to ages of uneducation and superstition. Have a look how developped countries like France and England are dealing with this matter allowing couples of same sex to marry. We wish that Africans wanting the same love life will get their human rights as soon as possible. Good Luck to for all African Gay workers in their fights and struggles. Don´t give up because you will win against uneducation and blockheaded fanatism at the end. We in Europe did. We are very happy for it. We wish you all Africans the same. Good Luck!

Author: Kpanla Posted: 2013-02-08 02:46:33 To those who are unaware Europe and America have become graveyards, corrupt, immoral without any future because men are sleeping with men and women are sleeping with women. They are on the verge with sleeping with their dogs and cats. They strong lobby groups in government to push further this agenda. Africans must not stupidly follow the West in this matter. When Mugabe and others stood firmly against these fagots the British tried to punish him and his country. I miss Atta Mills. He said it plainly that we have our own culture and lifestyle which the world must respect. Mahama please sit up or Ghana will turn against you for being soft on these fagots in our midst.
