The Member of Parliament for Anyaa Sowutuom, Dickson Adomako Kissi, has criticised the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, for his pronouncement on the acceptance of LGBTQI+ activities in Ghana.
According to the MP, Alban Bagbin can have his views on LGBTQI+ but his public utterance on it should be guided because of the position he holds.
Speaking in a GTV interview monitored by GhanaWeb, on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, Adomako Kissi added that the speaker’s utterance, if care is not taken, will jeopardise the government’s revenue mobilising efforts.
He explained the issue of LGBTQI is becoming more of a “turf war” which might seriously affect Ghana’s economy if care is not taken.
“I worry because this LGBT thing is almost going to be more of a proxy-type turf war… In the sense that it is not about LGBTQ or whatever it is but the fight for independence, liberty and rightly so in another context the liberty of those who are downtrodden.
“I worry because of the economic ties associated with either being for it (LGBT) or not and that is where I think that from a political-economic standpoint, we need to be very careful how to approach this,” he said.
