Popular lawyer, Dr Maurice Ampaw has described human rights lawyers who promote homosexuality as anti-human and evil people.

According to him, no good lawyer must back such abominable act on the basis that gays and lesbians have their human rights and can decide their sexual preference without any external interference.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said legalizing homosexuality is not something that has caught his government’s attention.

According to him, it will take a strong movement demanding a change in Ghana’s position to have the country’s laws changed, adding that the country’s social and cultural environment makes it difficult for this to be done.

In an answer to a question in an interview with Aljazeera on why Ghana’s laws still criminalize homosexuality, President Akufo-Addo said: “This is the socio-cultural issue if you like…I don’t believe that in Ghana, so far, a sufficiently strong coalition has emerged which is having that impact on public opinion that will say: ‘Change it [the law], let’s then have a new paradigm in Ghana.”

He further noted that he grew up in England, which, in the past, detest homosexuality but later succumbed to pressure from LGBT lobbyists to amend their laws to accommodate same-sex relationship.

“I grew up in England; I went to school as a young boy in England and I grew up at a time in England when homosexuality was banned there, it was illegal and I lived in the period when British politicians thought it was anathema to think about changing the law and suddenly the activities of individuals, of groups, a certain awareness, a certain development grew and grew and grew stronger and it forced a change in law. I believe those are the same processes that will bring about changes in our situation.”

The president, nonetheless said: “At the moment, I don’t feel and I don’t see that in Ghana, there is that strong current of opinion that will say: ‘This is something that we need even deal with’. It’s not, so far, a matter which is on the agenda.”

But Lawyer Maurice Ampaw in an interview with Gatuso on Aben Woha on Kasapa FM urged President Akufo Addo to come clean on his statement.

“Any human rights lawyer who supports gayism and lesbianism is anti human, evil and bogus. President Akufo Addo must apologize to Ghanaians or come to clarify his statements. He should tell Ghanaians that he’s Holy Spirit filled and that him, his family, and the NPP does encourage homosexuality. If in the president’s own home he does not endorse gayism and lesbianism he should send a signal to the whole country that such way of life is a no-go area.”
