Ghana’s Finance Minister, Mohammed Amin Adam, faced probing questions from CNN’s Richard Quest regarding the controversial anti-LGBT+ Bill that Parliament recently passed.

During an event in the United States, Quest sought the minister’s personal stance on the bill, given his dual role as a Member of Parliament and a senior government official.

“The most important thing is to discuss the effects of the law when passed… having said that, it is not for me to give the determination to the Supreme Court of our country. Let me state my point clearly again, there is a case before the Supreme Court, and I am not going to prejudice the determination of the Supreme Court,” Minister Adam stated in an interview later shared by Asaase Radio.

When pressed on whether he was shirking responsibility, Minister Adam clarified, “The responsibility I am taking is, if the Supreme Court rules on this case and the president assents to it, I will subject myself to the laws of my country.”

The bill’s fate hangs in the balance as President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo awaits the Supreme Court’s ruling on its constitutionality before deciding on his endorsement.

Meanwhile, two legal challenges against the bill’s constitutionality are currently pending before the Supreme Court.

  1. The malicious Western media is working to transfer the malignant social chronic diseases in the West to pure countries that have not yet been contaminated with malignant diseases that destroy society and the family. Why all this interest in despicableness and deviation from natural nature… Why is the destruction of pure societies a goal of the deviant West, even though it is trying? Strive to combat this dirty anomaly.
    Why this Malicious media representer targeted the minister of finance??
