Former Ghanaian Ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has accused the United States Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia Palmer, of interfering in the country’s internal affairs.
Nyaho-Tamakloe criticized Palmer for her recent comments, including threats, regarding the approval of a bill against same-sex activities in Ghana, calling it a direct attack on the nation’s sovereignty.
“We have countries in the Arab world, have they been able to push this down their throats? America at times really surprises me. They talk of democracy and they do the other thing.
“The ambassador here should have left this country long ago… I am telling you; she is interfering in the internal affairs of our country.
“Look at the comments she made, even the threats. This is a sovereign nation. If we choose to hang ourselves tomorrow that is our business not hers. Why should she impose?” he told Joynews in an interview.
Virginia Palmer, the United States Ambassador to Ghana, has reacted to the recently approved anti-LGBTQ Bill by Parliament.
She stated that the prohibition of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) activities, as well as the criminalization of their promotion, advocacy, and funding, infringes on human rights.
Virginia Palmer further warned of potential economic and reputational damage to Ghana should the bill be assented into law by the president.
“I am saddened because some of the smartest, most creative, most decent people I know are LGBT. The bill Parliament passed takes away not only their basic human rights but those of all Ghanaians because it undermines their constitutional rights to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of the press. It will be bad for public order and public health. If enacted, it will also hurt Ghana’s international reputation and Ghana’s economy.” #USAmbPalmer,” she tweeted.
In response to the ambassador’s comment, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe noted that Virginia Palmer’s actions contravened the Vienna Convention. The former diplomat also criticized a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance as irresponsible, warning of significant economic implications should the bill be approved into law.
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without
my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help
reduce content from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate
it.
An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment.
I do think that you should publish more on this subject matter, it may not
be a taboo subject but typically people don’t speak about such subjects.
To the next! Best wishes!!
