The leadership of the Coalition of Muslim Organizations of Ghana, COMOG, has said that they will present a petition to Parliament on the anti-LGBTQI+ bill.
The COMOG also called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to ensure the passage of the Proper Human Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill into law.
During a press conference on Thursday, October 7, 2021, Spokesperson for the coalition, Prince Zakaria Moses averred that the organization is ready and willing to do everything to ensure that the LGBTQI+ Bill is passed.
“If passed will bring finality to the lingering issues of LGBTQI in Ghana,’’ said the spokesperson.
“It is our considered view based on the foregoing arguments that LGBTQI+ activities are lifestyle choices and personal practices which cannot be equated as rights or accorded the status of right, and we fully endorse the LGBTQI+ Bill 2021 which is currently before Parliament and encourage the Parliament of Ghana and the President to swiftly pass and assent to the bill respectively.’’
“Our collective failure to pass the LGBTQI+ Bill of 2021 will plunge the Ghanaian population into yet another health and security threat through the activities of the LGBTQI+ community.”
