Ghanaian politician who doubles as a lawyer, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has called on Members of Parliament to busy themselves with laws that will protect children than fighting for the criminalization of homosexuality.
He indicated that the duty of lawmakers shouldn’t be what two adults have agreed to do in their bedroom.
The leading member of the New Patriotic Party took to Twitter to defend why there’s no need for lawmakers to waste time and make laws on what two consenting adults have decided to do with themselves.
He wrote, “This is what | call positive law. It protects children. Let us promote laws that protect children and the vulnerable and not on what 2 consenting adults choose to do in the bedroom. If you say no to unnatural carnal knowledge you deny yourself even oral sex with your own spouse”.
