NPP against LGBTQ+ - National Chairman declares

-

 


Stephen Ntim, the National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated that the party is against the practice of LGBTQ+ in the country.

In a commemorative address delivered yesterday at the PIWC-Atomic in Accra to mark the first anniversary of the assumption of office by the current NPP national executives, Mr. Ntim emphatically declared that the party and its national executives would not compromise their principles by endorsing LGBTQ+ rights in the country.

Mr. Ntim acknowledged the deep-rooted religious and moral values held by the party and the nation, which strongly discourage such practices and will not deviate from them.

“The good Lord wants us to continue to populate this earth that he has put at our disposal. How do we achieve that commandment if we are going to resort to LGBTQ+. There is no way we can answer that question. “If we are going to answer it means it is contrary to the dictates of the good book, the Bible. It also means if we are going to follow that route, sooner or later, all of us will cease to exist because we cannot continue to populate the world with human beings,” he stated.

Mr Ntim appealed to the clergy to continue to pray for the NPP and for Ghana.

He emphasized that the centre-right party; NPP aims to preserve and uphold the values and traditions of the society and guard against its erosion.

“We in the NPP are opposed to any systematic attempt to normalise LGBTQ+ and related conduct in Ghana because it is not part of the legacy,” he added.

Mr. Ntim reiterated that the primary focus of the party is to address and enhance the living conditions of Ghanaians, firmly emphasizing that “LGBTQ+ is not one of them”.

He encouraged Ghanaians, particularly the youth, to take pride in their identity and resist being influenced by the cultural objectives promoted by advocates of LGBTQ+ rights.

Furthermore, he called upon the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to refrain from engaging in a disruptive campaign to impose the LGBTQ+ agenda on the NPP.

Ghana's Parliament unanimously passed the "Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2022" last week.

The objective of this bill is to establish guidelines for proper human sexual rights and uphold Ghanaian family values, while also explicitly prohibiting activities related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) individuals

During the bill's second reading, Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin asked if any MP opposed its adoption, to which the House unanimously voted in favor of its adoption.

This bipartisan Private Members' Bill was introduced by a group of eight MPs led by Samuel Nartey George, an NDC MP for Ningo-Prampram.

The other MPs involved in its introduction are Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, NDC MP for Ho West; Della Adjoa Sowah, NDC MP for Kpando; Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, NPP MP for Assin South; Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini, NDC MP for Tamale North; Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, NDC MP for Dadekotopon; Helen Adjoa Ntoso, NDC MP for Kete Krachi, and Rockson-Nelson Etse Kwami Dafeamekpor, NDC MP for South Dayi.
