The Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram and staunch protestor of LGBTQ+ activities in Ghana, Sam Nartey George, has told the Ghana Police Service to facilitate the removal of a billboard purportedly promoting the cause of LGBTQ+ supporters.
He gave the police a deadline of 24 hours to remove the billboards sited along the Tema to Accra stretch of the N1 highway.
It is unclear when the billboards were mounted, but according to people who live close by, they were fixed over the weekend.
Speaking to the press at the site, the lawmaker indicated that the mounting of the billboard is an “affront to the 1992 constitution” and asked the Inspector General of Police to arrange to get the billboard unfixed within the next 24 hours.
“We realized that a billboard promoting the activities of the LGBTQ+ has been mounted along the motorway; as sponsors of the bill in parliament and as members of parliament, we deem it necessary to come here and register in the strongest way our displeasure and our discomfort in this unholy and untraditional advertisement that has been put up on a very iconic road – the N1,” he fumed.
The Honourable Sam George and seven other members of Parliament have been advocating for the passage of “The Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values, Bill 2021.”
The seven others are Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor (MP for South Dayi), Emmanuel Bedzrah (Ho West MP), Della Adjoa Sowah (MP for Kpando), John Ntim Fordjour (MP for Assin South), Alhassan by Suhuyini (MP for Tamale North), Rita Naa Odoley Sowah (MP for La Dadekotopon), and Helen Adjoa Ntoso.
Meanwhile, hours after the protest by the vociferous MP, the billboards have been removed.
The LGBTQ+ community celebrates their “gay pride month” in June every year.
