YOU THINK OUR CULTURE IS ALL ABOUT DANCING?-GABBY FIRED

YOU THINK OUR CULTURE IS ALL ABOUT DANCING?-GABBY FIRED*

Going around wearing kingsman ropes and dancing at Traditional events is all about our culture as Ghanaians?

They are not our only culture, Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo Prampram, Hon. Sam Nartey George quizzes Gabby Otchere Darko over his LGBTQI+ comment.

Sam Nettey George maintained that such a comment is fear-mongering and a misconception of the LGBTQI group.

Mr Otchere-Darko, who was the former Executive Director of the Danquah Institute, said the bill against same-sex rights will have negative effects on the country.

He argued that LGBTQI+ activities are illegal in Ghana but the sudden anti-LGBTQ+ bill goes a long way to show hatred against the LGBTQ+ community.

But Mr George, on *Face to Face* on *Citi TV* on, Tuesday expressed shock at the comments of Mr Otchere-Darko who should know better.

He could not fathom why he fears Ghana will lose money at the expense of upholding culture and traditions.

“Only three percent of Ghana’s expenditure comes from aid and people like Gabby are worried we will lose this? Money is not everything,” the Ningo Prampram MP said.

He said nowhere in the bill does it promote homophobic sentiments for Ghana to be blacklisted.

Mr George cited how European countries like Hungry and Poland and African countries like Uganda and Nigeria have passed similar laws yet have not been blacklisted to buttress his point.

“What has happened to Hungry, Poland, Nigeria and Uganda who have passed similar laws? Everything in the bill is covered by section 104 of the 1992 Constitution,” he stressed.

Mr George said they won’t fall for the propaganda from the LGBTQI+ group to be cowed into submission.
