A Pentecost University Lecturer and the West African Director of Samaritan Strategy, Dr. Christopher Ampadu, has called for the passage of the anti-LGBTQ+ bill called Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill.

According to him, Ghana needs the bill to avert homosexuality which he termed as a satanic agenda to destroy the Ghanaian family life.

Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme, Dr. Ampadu stated categorically that ''any person who will speak against this bill doesn't love Ghana''.

Meanwhile, the bill is currently at the center of controversy as one group made up of scholars, lawyers, Professors and Civil Society Organizations have disputed it on grounds that it encroaches fundamental human rights while the proponents of the bill consisting of some Members of Parliament led by the Ningo-Prampram MP, Sam George and the lot of Ghanaians insist on passing the bill into law to criminalize Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+) acts in the country.

A person caught practicing or promoting homosexuality, according to the bill, will face a jail term or fine or both.

The debate on the bill is currently ongoing but many Ghanaians have suggested that there should be an open balloting on whether or not to pass it for them to find out the Parliamentarians who will vote for or against.
