Homosexuality Likely To Rise In Ghana- Akufo Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that, homosexuality may become a topical issue in Ghana in the near future but so far not on the agenda.

President’s Speech

“I think it is something that is bound to happen like elsewhere in the world.” But he says “it is not so far a matter which is on the agenda”.

President Akufo-Addo made these remarks on Sunday on Al Jazeera’s Talk To Al Jazeera hosted by Jane Dutton.

Ghana’s laws frown on same-sex marriage and it is punishable.

“I believe that those are the same processes.”

He recounted how the United Kingdom did not consider homosexuality an issue in his school days while living there.

But later the activism grew stronger and “it forced a change in law,” he recalled.

“At the moment, I don’t feel that in Ghana there is that strong cult of opinion that will say this is something that we need to deal with.” President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo added.
