Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Member of Parliament (MP) for the Sissala East constituency and Deputy Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Amidu Issahaku Chinnia, has stated that nothing will attract him to have intimacy with a fellow man, as he denounced LGBTQ+ practices.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr. Chinnia categorically pointed out that he doesn\u2019t see anything in a man that should attract him, indicating that LGBT tendencies are signs of illness.<\/p>\n

He also commended Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for emphatically rejecting LGBTQ+ practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see it as illness when a man is attracted to a man or a woman is attracted to a woman, it means that there is something wrong with your mind,\u201d he stated on The Key Points<\/b> on Saturday, April 13.<\/p>\n

He further indicated that, as an MP, there is no way he can visit his constituents if he declares support for LGBT activities. He stressed that there was not any NPP MP who openly declared his or her support for LGBTQ+ practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom where I sit and my love for…I mean, what will attract me to a man?\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I don\u2019t know what will attract me to a man,\u201d Mr. Chinnia reiterated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, pressure is being mounted on the Vice President and NPP\u2019s 2024 presidential candidate to advise President Akufo-Addo to sign the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2024, into law.<\/p>\n

Responding to whether such calls on the Vice President are right, the Deputy Minister maintained that Ghanaians should be fair to Dr. Bawumia.<\/p>\n

I believe Akufo-Addo will sign anti-LGBTQ+ bill once it reaches his desk \u2013 Miracles Aboagye<\/p>\n

He said the architecture of the constitution limits the powers of even key persons in government, unlike the president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe point I want to emphasise is that his [Dr. Bawumia] position is clear, his intervention is timely comparatively to former President Mahama, he had the opportunity, he was president.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Ghanaians are to give a fair judgment and you are to give any benefit of the doubt to somebody who is a vice president, which we all know is constraint by the constitution and somebody who has been president, the benefit of the doubt should be given to the vice president,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Communications Director for the NPP 2024 Campaign, Dennis Mircales Aboagye, has expressed confidence that President Akufo-Addo will assent to the anti-LGBTQ+ bill \u201cif it reaches his desk.\u201d<\/p>\n
