You Won't Survive In Ghana If You Deny Us Visas - Muntaka Warns Embassies

The MP for the Asawase Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Mr Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka has warned the diplomatic community that no amount of intimidation and threats will also stop the MPs from passing the anti LGBTQ bill pending before the house. Speaking on the Kumasi based Abusua 96.5 FM, the Minority Chief Whip

also said, the Parliament is aware of plans to deny lead advocates of the anti LGBTQ bill travel visa by foreign embassies in the country. He warned that he will lead a demonstration for closure of any embassy that will also deny Mr Sam George and other members of Parliament travel visas because of their advocacy for the LGBTQ+

activities in the country to be criminalized. He explained it’s against the constitution of Ghana for any member of the parliament to be punished for expressing his or her opinion on national issues in the house of parliament. So, therefore, no embassy can punish any MP in this country to kowtow to their wish. The lawmaker stressed

the minority in parliament is determined to ensure the bill is passed to uphold Ghana’s traditional norms and moralities in the interest of the majority of Ghanaians. He also said, the President Akufo Addo’s interview with Aljazeera where the president also failed to declare his stance on LGBTQ+ sexual activities has emboldened

the homosexual community to increase their advocacy projects in the country. With the greatest respect to our President, Nana Akufo Addo, his statement on Aljazeera was unfortunate. If he was bold like President Mills and John Dramani Mahama by letting the world know that Ghana will never accept LGBTQ+ activities they wouldn’t be doing unfortunate advocacies we are seeing in the country of late.
