$200 million voted to promote LGBTQI+ activities in Ghana?

IS it really the case that a very huge amount of $200 million is “flooding” to advocate for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI+) activities in Ghana? The advocates are said to be some vocal individuals, groups and institutions in the country. But the question is: Specifically, who are they? What are their specific names? Wikipedia defines ‘advocate’ as a person or institution that publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy. Synonyms for ‘advocate’ include; champion, supporter, apologist, propagandist, patron, fighter for, spokesperson for and campaigner for. The Executive Director of Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values, Mr Moses Foh-Amoaning , is urgently urging government to quickly investigate the alleged $200 million ‘funding’ of advocates of LGBTQI+ activities in Ghana. According to Mr Foh-Amoaning, intelligence gathered by the Coalition points to the fact that “some Western countries are funding individuals and groups to propagate pro-LGBTQI+ activities in Ghana.”


The Coalition says:”The $200 million funding forms part of a back-door approach to sponsor LGBTQI+ activities in the country.” The backdoor funding approach is said to be under a special purpose vehicle, ‘christened’ Central Country Mechanism Programme. And out of the $200 million ‘package’, Mr Foh-Amoaning reportedly says, “$30 million is being used to purchase condoms and lubricants.” The Coalition is pointing fingers at countries like the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands; accusing them of using the backdoor to fund LGBTQI+ activism in some communities in Ghana. Reportedly, the $200 million LGBTQI+ funding is part of the “ cultural imperialist mode “ being championed by some Western
countries to support advocates of LGBTQI+ activities in Ghana. Mr Foh-Amoaning is urging the national political leadership to firmly stand against the emerging “cultural imperialism” being propagated against Ghana’s family values and proper sexual human rights by LGBTQI+ advocates. Just recently, however, Ghana’s Parliament approved a loan of $200 million from the Western world to buy vaccines but the monies are said to come from a source that supports world-wide LGBTQI+ activities. Eight Members of Parliament are sponsoring a bill in Parliament to ban the practice of LGBTQI+ activities in the country. The bipartisan bill , according to the eight Members of Parliament, is aimed at stopping what they describe as an invasion of the moral and cultural fabric of the Ghanaian society from LGBTQI+ activists. Some Members of Parliament, however, are said to be scared that Parliament’s decision to pass the anti-LGBTQI+ bill into law would block Ghana’s chance of getting loans from Western countries.
According to Mr Vincent Ekow Assafuah, Member of Parliament for the Old Tafo constituency in the Ashanti Region, “it is Impossible for Parliament to approve loans from countries in support of LGBTQI+ and make a law to prohibit such practice.” Reportedly, Mr Assafuah says, when the bill is passed into law, it will also affect Ghana government’s plan to procure corona-virus vaccines from countries like United States and the United Kingdom. Some social analysts , however, wonder whether the $200 million Mr Foh-Amoaning is talking about , is anything different from the recent $200 million loan “sponsored by Western countries” and approved by Parliament. All the same, this column urges the government to listen to the Coalition and publicly investigate the alleged $200 millon “funding” of LGBTQI+ activities in the country. Readers, wouldn’t it be “eye-popping” to “salivate” the public outcome of such “intelligence” investigations? Anyway, we await the outcome of such investigations!!!
