Now having done a perusal of the various cultures and religion or religious affiliations in this country. There is nowhere that, there is a certain acceptance of a man marrying a man, a woman marrying a woman. Ghana recognizes that yes we have diversity cultural beliefs among other things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tamekloe underscored the prevalent abhorrence for such practices across various cultural and religious groups in Ghana, citing both Christian and Islamic teachings as examples. \u201cThere is that level of abhorrence for that particular conduct. Ghana has a very large Christian population and the last time I checked the Bible, it doesn\u2019t look like it is endorsed. In fact, if you read the holy Quran, prophet Mohammed admonishes all Muslims not to go to the way of the people of Lot,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the passage of the anti-gay Bill by the Ghanaian Parliament, Tamekloe criticized President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo\u2019s reluctance to sign the bill into law. \u201cOur president&#8230;has not learnt anything from the benefit of history,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Tamekloe accused the President\u2019s Executive Secretary of arrogance, citing past instances such as the controversy surrounding the forced leave of former Auditor-General, Daniel Domelevo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were in this country when arrogantly, in a very unconstitutional manner, this same Executive Secretary put on that green paper a letter instructing Domelevo to proceed on leave. When Domelevo responded to the government that they did not have any said constitutional power to ask the head of an independent constitutional body to proceed on leave, to arrogantly responded to him by saying he Domelevo is not a lawyer and so does not understand the law. It is that level of arrogance that is what resulted in a situation where the supreme court had the unfortunate or fortunate instance of having to describe the conduct of the President as unconstitutional,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Tamekloe continued that \u201cIt is curious that the President who says he\u2019s made a personal pledge to God to build for him a national cathedral will be running away from signing the family value bill strongly grounded in both Christian and Islamic law,\u201d he added.<\/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.
