Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Right and Family values, Moses Foh-Amoaning has criticised the President\u2019s approach towards the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill currently under scrutiny.<\/b><\/p>\n

Foh-Amoaning expressed deep reservations about the influence of certain individuals within the President\u2019s inner circle, questioning their commitment to upholding the values of the Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

He minced no words as he called attention to what he perceived as a glaring inconsistency in the President\u2019s stance on LGBTQ+ rights. \u201cThe President is between the devil (sic) and a hard place, I pity him a bit \u201c, he said in an interview with Johnnie Hughes and Helen Appiah-Ampofo on 3FM Sunrise Morning Show on March 19.<\/p>\n

Foh-Amoaning emphasized the conflicting signals emanating from the President\u2019s advisors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want Nana Asante Bediatu to challenge me if I\u2019m wrong. He should say his position on LGBT rights. As far as I know, he believes in LGBTQ rights. He thinks that they are human rights. Gabby Okyere Darko, he believes in it. He\u2019s posted things supporting it,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Drawing attention to legal intricacies, Foh-Amoaning highlighted the unanimous passage of the bill by Members of Parliament, underscoring its reflection of the will of the Ghanaian people. He stressed that, as the head of state, the president is duty-bound to represent the values and aspirations of the populace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people around the president, because of their biases in the interest or tilted towards the LGBTQ rights are the ones pushing the president or shielding him from performing his constitutionally mandated role. That is the fact and I\u2019m not going to hide away from it. I\u2019ve mentioned their names, because the gloves are off let\u2019s punch each other. I don\u2019t mind,\u201d Foh-Amoaning asserted.<\/p>\n

Foh-Amoaning cautioned against the infiltration of liberal and progressive ideologies within the ruling NPP party, warning of dire consequences for both the party\u2019s identity and the nation\u2019s moral fabric. He urged a return to conservative values aligned with the party\u2019s ethos, emphasizing the need to preserve the soul of the NPP and the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NPP party and I\u2019m just sending a note of caution to them, they have allowed liberals and progressives whose beliefs don\u2019t align with this conservative right-wing party called the NPP to dominate and begin to dictate the moral values of the NPP. The soul of the NPP is at stake and the soul of the nation,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Foh-Amoaning\u2019s remarks also touched on the economic implications of the bill and its potential impact on international relations. He criticized what he perceived as attempts by the LGBTQ+ movement to obfuscate the true consequences of their agenda, calling for a transparent and robust debate in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the LGBT movements have tried to do over the bill is to deceive all of us into believing that what they do and the consequences of it don\u2019t matter, so they reduce the argument to what we call abstract social construct, human rights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As the nation awaits further developments, Foh-Amoaning issued a direct challenge to Asante Bediatu and Gabby Okyere Darko, inviting them to present their arguments in court. \u201cI\u2019m calling upon Asante Bediatu and Gabby Okyere, they should come to the court, we will all be there, they should come and make those arguments,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

He called for accountability and urged stakeholders to engage in constructive dialogue to address the complex issues at hand.<\/p>\n

Foh-Amoaning\u2019s impassioned plea underscores the depth of division and controversy surrounding the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill, highlighting the delicate balance between individual rights and societal values in the Ghanaian context.<\/p>\n
