    This is already imbued in our norms. We don't do that here. Ministers representing their constituencies all over Ghana made this decision in parliament because that's what the people are saying. We don't want this here. This bill wasn't passed just because one person autocratically decided . It was a consensual agreement. Ministers of various constituencies voted and I think the world should respect it. The citizens have spoken.

    The president is well aware of the overwhelming endorsement of the Ghanaian citizens for this bill to become law and it phenomenal catastrophic effect on any leader or political party that stand oppose to this bill, especially when elections are at the corner. The president has only consenting view remaining for him at this critical moment.

    These people should stop focusing on Ghanaian laws. This is going to make it worse for the people they claim to care about. Western governments cannot dictate to other countries in the world.
    For example am Nigerian, I have never heard of anyone being imprisoned for homosexuality. Am not saying it can never happen. These people putting a focus on it by trying to force their own norms can only make the situation worse.

Africans are busy working to undo the harm caused unjust world order. No one should bother them to accept deviant habits of a few odd people. Democracy doesn't mean ANYTHING GOES.

      Where are all the arable lands in the world, where are most minerals in the world, all in Africa.
      But we have been blinded, deceive and trick, oppress and enslaved for far too long and we don't know what we have anymore.

      Instead of empowering citizens to build the country up, they waste time and resources on things that don't have a direct impact on economy and commerce.
