The Ghana Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference president, Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, has criticised President John Mahama over his stance on the LGBTQ bill, warning that it risks undermining the will of Ghanaians.<\/p>\n
Speaking on PM Express on Joy News Tuesday, Bishop Gyamfi said the President\u2019s position that the issue is not a priority sends the wrong signal.<\/p>\n
The presidency has recently maintained that the LGBTQ matter is not an immediate priority, citing pressing economic and social challenges such as rising cost of living, unemployment, and pressures on the health system.<\/p>\n
But Bishop Gyamfi acknowledged those concerns while insisting they do not justify sidelining the bill.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s not wrong in pursuing his matters, because Ghanaians need jobs. They need help. They need other things. So these are important, and they should be a priority for the President.\u201d<\/p>\n
He argued, however, that the proposed legislation carries equal weight and should not be treated as secondary.<\/p>\n
