Mahama Ayariga is a deputy from central Bawku
Bawku Central legislator Mahama Ayariga says homosexuals must recognize that they have no rights in Ghana.
According to him, people who admit to being homosexual in the country must be identified and face prosecution.
“They have no right to be gay or lesbian, so they cannot say that their rights have been violated. You do not have the right to be gay or lesbian in Ghana. But I am saying that anyone can defend that we should give them that right.
“So now we should look for him who says he is involved in the activities and start punishing the person for what he says he is,” Ayariga told Serwaa Amihere on GHOne TV on Tuesday.
The conversation and anger towards LGBT practices was renewed in Ghana following a fundraiser attended by several diplomats, including the Australian High Commissioner, who pledged to support the group.
The EU office in Ghana has declared its support for the group.
Meanwhile, former Deputy Information Minister Pius Hadzide says President Akufo-Addo has told him that he will never legalize homosexuality.
“We are a people of culture that is governed by rules and regulations. Whatever decision we make it must conform to our culture and laws … I can confirm to you that the President has indicated that Ghana is not ready to legalize LGBTQI in the current context. “
