Chairman of the Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana, Papa Wuli, has asserted that engaging in LGBTQ+ activities is taboo in Ghana, emphasizing the association’s strong opposition to such practices.
His comments came during a one-day protest organized by supporters of the anti-gay bill, which was passed by Parliament on February 28, 2024.
Hundreds of Ghanaians, including activists, community leaders, and traditional authorities, marched through the principal streets of Accra to demand the early resolution of all legal challenges against the bill.
They presented a petition to the Attorney General and the Chief Justice, urging them to clear all legal hurdles within two weeks so that President Akufo-Addo can assent to the Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill.
The demonstrators also criticized the Chief Justice for a Supreme Court ruling on July 17, which postponed judgments on anti-gay cases until all related legal matters are addressed.
During the protest, MP for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, called on the Chief Justice to expedite action on the pending cases.
In his remarks, Papa Wuli urged President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Bawumia to take immediate action to support the bill and to address what he described as “hypocritical behaviors” surrounding the issue.
