Moses Foh-Amoaning has called out President John Mahama over his comments on the anti-gay bill
Private legal practitioner and Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, Moses Foh-Amoaning, has slammed President John Dramani Mahama over his handling of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill.
Speaking in a recent interview on Asempa FM, the veteran lawyer indicated that the president should be treating the passage of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill (also known as the anti-LGBT or anti-gay bill) into law the same way he did his United Nations resolution that got slavery declared as the gravest crime against humanity.
He asserted that Western countries and multilateral organisations are forcing Ghana to accept homosexuality, and that the president must see this as another form of slavery.
“Let me speak directly to my good friend the president. Look, Mr President, in all humility, the slave trade was stopped in 1807 – 2018 years ago. We have gone to the US and gotten a resolution that says it (the slave trade) is the crime of the century; that’s fine.
“And so, Mr President, can’t you see that this thing that the UN agencies – WHO, UNESCO, UNDP, all of them – have joined forces to stop the passage of the law (anti-gay law), and they are pumping money into the country… so we have these things in the country for men to be sleeping with men,” he said in the Twi dialect.
He added, “This sort of behaviour that they are forcing on us, Mr President, can’t you see it is a form of slavery?”
Foh-Amoaning expressed his displeasure about the president’s recent public remarks on the passage of the law to prohibit homosexual activities in the country.
“Instead of you speaking for us, you are saying it is not your priority. I don’t understand it. Also, even the bill that has been passed, you are saying it would take some time,” he said.
He accused President Mahama of treating the passage of the anti-gay bill the same as his predecessor, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
“Mr President, you are going the same way as the former president, but this time, because I’m your good friend, I would tell you,” he said.
