Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has called on Ghanaians to approach the LGBTQ debate with unity rather than political division.
Speaking on the matter, he stressed that the issue goes beyond party lines and should not be reduced to partisan politics.
According to him, LGBTQ concerns affect the broader moral and social fabric of the country and must be addressed collectively.
He revealed that recently, in collaboration with the police, authorities intervened in a case involving a 21-year-old man who had reportedly gone missing but was later found after allegedly being kept by a UK-based Ghanaian as a gay partner.
Mr George used the incident to underscore the seriousness of the issue and the need for a united national response.
He also acknowledged John Ntim Fordjour, noting that he was the only Member of Parliament from the New Patriotic Party who supported the bill when it was initially introduced, and advised that such matters should not be politicised.
He reiterated that while political differences exist, issues of national concern such as this require collaboration and shared responsibility.
“LGBTQ does not know NPP, NDC, or CPP—let us not play politics with it; let us fight this together as Ghanaians,” he added.
