Is it the case that they will abrogate the contract at their expense in respect of the payment?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are contractual arrangements so we can import new provisions into an arrangement that is already into motion so that fear of losing grounds in the IMF program is not there, it is unfounded. That is only a threat that is hollow and empty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Finance on Monday, March 4 pointed out dreadful implications of the president assenting to the anti-LGBTQ+ Bill.<\/p>\n<p>In a brief on the implications of assenting to the Bill by President Akufo-Addo, the Ministry of Finance said the country stands to lose huge financial support from the Bretton Woods institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn total, Ghana is likely to lose US$3.8 billion in World Bank Financing over the next five to six years. For 2024, Ghana will lose US$600 million budget support and US$250 million for the Financial Stability Fund. This will negatively impact Ghana\u2019s foreign exchange reserves and exchange rate stability as these inflows are expected to shore up the country\u2019s reserve position,\u201d part of the brief cited.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Finance provided the details as follows:<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry cautioned that, \u201cThe potential loss of these financial resources will create a financing gap in the 2024 budget that the government must address through additional domestic revenue mobilisation and a significant reduction in expenditure. Failing this, Government\u2019s ability to achieve the targets in the 2024 Budget will be undermined and the IMF-ECF Programme is likely to be derailed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parliament on February 28 passed the Promotion of Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill.<\/p>\n<p>US State Department spokesperson Matt Miller expressed concerns about the potential consequences of the bill, stating, \u201cSo we have made very clear what our opinion is on that law \u2013 you can look at my statement yesterday \u2013 and we have made that clear in private conversations with the Government of Ghana as well. I don\u2019t think I should get any more specific than that, but if this bill becomes law, it would certainly have a chilling effect on foreign investment and tourism in Ghana\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo allayed the fears of the diplomatic community that the anti-lgbtqi bill will disturb the good human rights records of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The president assured that \u2018no such back-sliding will be contemplated or occasioned\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>In a message to the diplomatic community on Monday, March 4, the president said that the bill has not yet been submitted to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am aware that last week\u2019s bi-partisan passage by Parliament of the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, on a Private Member\u2019s motion, has raised considerable anxieties in certain quarters of the diplomatic community and amongst some friends of Ghana that she may be turning her back on her, hitherto, enviable, longstanding record on human rights observance and attachment to the rule of law. I want to assure you that no such back-sliding will be contemplated or occasioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it will serve little purpose to go, at this stage, into the details of the origin of this proposed law, which is yet to reach my desk. But, suffice it to say, that I have learnt that, today, a challenge has been mounted at the Supreme Court by a concerned citizen to the constitutionality of the proposed legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the circumstances, it would be, as well, for all of us to hold our hands, and await the decision of the Court before any action is taken. The operation of the institutions of the Ghanaian state will determine the future trajectory of the rule of law and human rights compliance in our country,\u201d President Akufo-Addo said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
