What Ghana’s presidents have all said about the LGBTQ+ subject

Jerry John Rawlings and John Evans Atta Mills may no longer be alive but their words on many subjects including this growing, resurfaced subject of the rights or otherwise of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Intersex Rights (LGBTQ+) sexual orientation are there to refer to. In the case of the late former President Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings, while there is no definite public reference to what he said on the subject, all other presidents within the Fourth Republic of Ghana have had a thing or two to say. Recently, the conversations on the rights of persons of the LGBTQ+ community in Ghana have resurfaced mainly after news broke of the opening of a new office for persons of this sexual orientation in Accra. This was followed by separate comments by the ministers-designate for Justice and Attorney General, Godfred Dame; Gender, Children and Social Protection, Sarah Adwoa Safo; Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey; and Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah. In each of these instances, the ministers-designate all re-emphasized the stance of Ghana’s laws on the practice, albeit not definite, drawing in the defenses of how our culture and values as a people frown on them. Like a raging fire, social media has been riddled with discussions on the subject, topping trends, and people who support the act are coming out, alike those who disagree with the act, boldly stating so. But what have our presidents under the Fourth Republic been saying, or, said about the subject, of course, without that of the late former president, Jerry John Rawlings. GhanaWeb brings you the details, starting with former president John Agyekum Kufuor. John Agyekum Kufuor: In 2019, during the meeting of members of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values and John Agyekum Kufuor, he urged the world to fight against same-sex marriages. He stated that no amount of argument could change the fact that without man and woman, there would be no human race, a Ghanaian Times report said. He added that the promotion of same-sex marriages is unnatural and immoral behavior in Ghana and Africa at large, and is totally unnecessary and dangerous because humanity could not continue if such acts were condoned. “No one was born gay, people just want to convince us to accept this blatant lie, but let us show them that we are real Africans, we cannot fight against nature and win. We will not conform to such disgraceful activities, even in Europe, majority of the people do not encourage homosexuality. As long as they remain in the minority, let us keep pushing till they accept that LGBT is not right and persons who identify as such, rather need some kind of help instead of forcing it on Africans.” Earlier, during his presidency, John Agyekum Kufuor had opposed a gay conference that was supposed to be held in Ghana. John Evans Atta Mills For John Evans Atta Mills, his was an emphatic “No” statement on the subject of LGBTQ+. In an interaction with the media during his presidency, and in reaction to comments by then British Premier David Cameron that they may consider cutting aid to Ghana should the country not legalize gay rights, the late former president was forthright, ruling out any possibility of the legalization of same. He added that Cameron was entitled to opinions, stressing that laws must take into account the cultures and histories of a given people. “Let me make one thing very clear: no one can deny Prime Minister Cameron his right to make policies, take initiatives or make statements that reflect his societal norms and ideals but he does not have the right to direct other sovereign nations as to what they should do especially when their societal norms and ideals are different from those which exist in Prime Minister Cameron’s society. “I, as president of this nation, will never initiate or support any attempts to legalize homosexuality in Ghana. As a government, we will adhere by the principles enshrined in our constitution which is supreme. Let me also say, that while we acknowledge all the financial assistance and all the aid which have been given to us by our development partners, we will not accept any aid with strings attached if that aid will not inure to our interest or the implementation or the utilization of that aid with strings attached would rather worsen our plight as a nation, or, destroy the very society we want to use the money to improve,” he said. John Dramani Mahama: John Dramani Mahama had similar comments as his predecessor and former boss, John Atta Mills. Speaking through his Information Minister at the time, Mahama Ayariga, the former president indicated that the act is criminal and punishable under the laws of Ghana. “The President is to execute the laws of Ghana. And the laws of Ghana are very clear on homosexuality. The laws of Ghana appall and criminalize homosexuality, there is no dispute about that. Homosexual conduct which is unnatural canal knowledge of one person or another is criminal and punishable by the laws of Ghana,” he said. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo: Incumbent president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo, in an interview with Gulf news channel, Al Jazeera, said the issue of same-sex relationships was not on the agenda of the country although he believes that its snowball effect will soon reach Africa. “At the moment, I don’t feel and I don’t see that in Ghana there is that strong current of opinion that is saying that this is something that we need even deal with. It is not so far a matter which is on the agenda. “I don’t believe that in Ghana so far, a sufficiently strong coalition has emerged which is having that impact of public opinion that will say, change it; let’s then have a new paradigm in Ghana,” he said.

Election petition: SC to deliver judgment 4 March

The Supreme Court has set Thursday, 4 March 2021 to deliver judgment in the ongoing election petition. This was announced by the Chair of the seven-member panel of judges, Chief Justice (CJ) Kwasi Anin Yeboah during the hearing on Tuesday, 22 February 2021. Meanwhile, the court has dismissed a third review application filed by former President John Mahama, the petitioner in the ongoing election petition, which prayed the court to overturn its own ruling of 16 February 2021, in which it denied Mr Mahama the opportunity to reopen his case. “The application under review was dismissed because it was not based on known law or rules of practice. We dismiss the instant application and we hold it without merit”, Chief Justice ANin Yeboah read out in court on Monday, 22 February 2021. Prior to Monday’s ruling, Mr Tsatsu Tsikata, the lead counsel for Mr Mahama, had argued that the court “prejudiced” its “fair exercise of discretion” in denying his client the opportunity to reopen his case in the earlier ruling. The ordinary court, on Tuesday, 16 February 2021, ruled unanimously that “a mere filing of a witness statement is not an election to testify”. Chief Justice Anin Yeboah read: “As we’ve already indicated in this ruling supra, the petitioner in this application has not given us an inkling of the new or fresh evidence he wants to bring to the fore through the Chairperson of the first respondent and how that evidence could assist the court to do justice to the matters under consideration in this petition. Neither has he disclosed how that evidence will advance the cause of his petition. “For the above-stated reasons, we find no merit or favour in the petitioner’s application to reopen his case for the sole purpose of compelling his adversaries’ intended witness to testify through a subpoena without indicating the sort of evidence he intends to solicit from the said witness and how that evidence is going to help the court in resolving the dispute before us. We accordingly refuse the application and proceed without any hesitation to dismiss it”, the ruling said.

‘I went overboard, crossed the line; I apologise, retract’ contemptuous words – Ayine

Former Attorney General Dr Dominic Ayine has apologised for saying the Supreme Court has a “predetermined agenda” to rule against former President John Mahama, the petitioner in the ongoing election petition case. “I have looked at what I said that day and I have come to the conclusion that I went overboard, I crossed the line with respect to the remarks that I made”, Dr Ayine told the media on Monday, 22 February 2021 after the hearing. Dr Ayine’s apology came after the court asked him to do so. In court on Monday, the Bench reprimanded Dr Ayine for those comments and asked him to purge himself of the contemptuous words through the same media by which he made the earlier comments. Dr Ayine has also written an unqualified apology to the court and the Justices. Background Dr Ayine’s comment came after the apex court on Tuesday, 16 February 2021, ruled that Mr Mahama could not reopen his case for the sole purpose of subpoenaing the star witness of the Electoral Commission and using her as an “adverse” witness. In his media address, Dr Ayine said: “The Supreme Court asked itself a question, which we deem as a wrong question and answered that question. It said: why does the Chairperson need to account to the people of Ghana when she’s not a party to the suit”. “Now you’ll recall that counsel made it clear that one of the reasons we are in court is because of the unconstitutional conduct of Mrs Jean Adukwei Mensa as the returning officer under the Constitution and it is not true that there is only one issue that needs to be determined in this matter”, the lawmaker said. He continued: “I am surprised that the Supreme Court itself, having set down five key issues to be determined, is now reducing the issues to one, which is whether and extent to which the evidence that we have led, shows that no one got more than 50 per cent of the votes in accordance with article 53 of the Constitution”. “But we have made it abundantly clear in the petition that there were a number of infractions”. “We are contesting even the constitutionality of the declaration that was made. We are saying that she violated article 23 of the Constitution because she’s an administrative body”. “We have also said her exercise of discretion was contrary to article 296 of the Constitution”. “These are all germane issues under the Constitution and laws of Ghana and to reduce the petition into a single-issue petition, is rather unfortunate and smacks of a predetermined agenda to rule against the petitioner in this matter”. A spokesperson for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s legal team, Mr Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, described Dr Ayine’s assertion as “unfair to the judicial system”. Speaking to the media, the former information minister said: “It is not fair to the judicial system, it’s not fair to our democracy, it’s not fair to the people of Ghana that when you lose an application because it is not grounded in law or because you’ve failed to meet the legal standard, then you come here and literally poison the minds of the public and make claims that they may be having a predetermined agenda. That’s scandalous of the court”. “When you make a legal argument and it is upheld, that one is good; when you make an argument and it doesn’t meet the threshold, then it means that they are wrong in law or that they have a predetermined agenda. “The Supreme Court has not reduced the petition to a single issue. We tried our best to transcribe the ruling and we’re waiting for the written version of it. The court said that the major issue, it didn’t say there was a single issue before it…” Classfm Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Election Petition: Your reactions to rulings should be within the law – Atuguba warns

A retired justice of the Supreme Court William Atuguba has told parties in the ongoing election petition hearing that they should act within the framework of the law if they disagree with the court’s rulings. Justice Atuguba who was part of the bench that handled the 2013 election petition hearing indicated that “court decisions on matters of this kind have various impacts and effects, depending on the circumstances in each country. “What I will say is that even if anybody is aggrieved with the ruling, their reactions should be within the framework of the rule of law.” “The Supreme Court judges, including the Chief Justice, have been vetted and approved by Parliament, who are the representatives of the people, so it is important for all actors, particularly the lawyers and the adjudicators, to bear in mind at all times that the decision of the court involves the sovereign welfare of the people of Ghana,” he told the Daily Graphic. Ghana’s apex court is currently hearing the election petition brought before it by the Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in last year’s elections. Lead counsel of the petitioner in the ongoing election petition hearing Tsatsu Tsikata has yet again made a case for the Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling on Tuesday, February 16. The seven justices of the apex court of Ghana unanimously dismissed the application of the petitioner, John Dramani Mahama, for the case to be re-opened in order to subpoena the Chair of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC), the First Respondent, to testify in court as a “hostile witness”. On Monday, February 22, Mr Tsikata questioned the basis of the ruling, saying the justices themselves were surprised when the First Respondent closed its case without calling its witness, Jean Adukwei Mensah, to testify. Mr Tsikata said the justices may have their reasons for the decision to dismiss the application but “it is the ruling of the panel that we are here to question”. “I am not in the minds of the panel,” he stressed. He further argued that for Mrs Mensa to have filed a witness statement meant that she was committed to mount the witness box. “We have no reason to say she was not telling the truth,” he said. For him, the Holy Bible should guide the nine justices reviewing the case, quoting Hosea 8:7. For him, the Holy Bible should guide the nine justices reviewing the case, quoting Hosea 8:7. It states: “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.” He concluded: “May each of the lordships decide based on your conscience and your judicial oath.” Counsels for the respondents – Justin Amenuvor for the First Respondent and Akoto Ampaw for the Second Respondent – asked the Court to set aside the review application since it does not merit its prayer. 3news Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Extend one term of office from 4 years to 6 years– Dr. Abu Sakara Proposed

Lead Specialist Development Consultant at the international Development Organizations Dr. Abu Sakara Foster is advocating for a Six (6) year tenure for every government to enable them complete projects. According to Dr. Sakara a tenure of one term is extended to six years in office it will be sufficient for every government. He was making his point based on the continuous experience of government abandoning projects initiated by their opponent which should have been continued for the benefit of the ordinary citizens. Dr. Sakara said, “Attribution- new government want their own manifesto laden projects and are reluctant to complete projects attributable to their ousted opponent”. “Creating new opportunities for Rent-seeking behavior by political leaders, with the irresponsible signing of new contracts in the last year of their tenure of office”. “A short term of 4 years tenure is insufficient to conclude very large projects. Six (6) year tenure of one term in office is proposed”? “Again, some policy reforms are needed. More importantly, a referendum will be required to: A) Extend one term of office from 4 years to 6 years B) Ensure 5-year segments of a long-term 40-year national development plan is followed with some but limited latitude for adjustment. The liberal use of party manifestos is the major source of contract cancellation. If all manifestos were synchronized with the long-term plan in 5-year segments there would be no need for cancellation of contracts”. Below is his full statement Stop the diversion of public funds down judgment debt drain. Judgment debt is a major avenue for wasting (diverting) significant amounts of our limited funds. It has happened with every administration throughout the fourth republic. It is indeed a serious drain on national finances and occurs too frequently and predictably. To stop it we must focus on the cause of the problem. There are at least three main driving factors; 1. Attribution- new govts want their own manifesto laden projects and are reluctant to complete projects attributable to their ousted opponent. 2. Creating new opportunities for Rent seeking behaviour by political leaders, with irresponsible signing of new contracts in the last year of their tenure of office. 3. A short term of 4 years tenure is insufficient to conclude very large projects. Six (6) year tenure of one term in office is proposed. Again, some policy reforms are needed. More importantly a referendum will be required to: A) Extend one term of office from 4 years to 6 years B) Ensure 5-year segments of a long term 40-year national development plan is followed with some but limited latitude for adjustment. The liberal use of party manifestos is the major source of contract cancellation. If all manifestos were synchronized with the long-term plan in 5-year segments there would be no need fo cancellation of contracts. Punishments for cancellation should begin by suing the officials at the point of cancellation not years later. Such suits should include political leaders that sign contracts in the last months of their last term of office if it is obvious that those contracts are unbudgeted in that last year’s budget.

Your fundamental errors caused miscarriage of justice – Mahama writes to Supreme Court

Former President John Dramani Mahama, the Petitioner in the ongoing Election Petition, is seeking a review of the Supreme Court’s ruling against his motion to re-open his case. The Supreme Court on February 16, 2021, chaired BY Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah dismissed the application in which the Petitioner was asking to be allowed to re-pen his case and subpoena the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) to mount the witness box as his “hostile witness.” This was after lawyers of the EC, the 1st Respondent and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, 2nd Respondent waived their rights to adduce evidence. The unanimous ruling of the apex court was to the effect that, the Petitioner has not demonstrated any exceptional grounds that should warrant the Court to exercise its discretion in his favour. However, in a motion for Review which has been tabled for hearing on Monday, February 22, the Petitioner in his affidavit in support of the motion stated that the fundamental errors have occasioned a miscarriage of justice against him. Below is the full affidavit in support of the motion for review PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that this Honourable Court shall be moved by Counsel for and on behalf of Petitioner/Applicant herein (Applicant), praying for an order of the Court reviewing its Ruling delivered on 16th February 2021 in respect of an application by Applicant to re-open his case; UPON the grounds set forth in the Statement of Case and the accompanying affidavit, and for such further or other orders as the Honourable Court may deem fit.

Mahama files application for review of ruling stopping him from reopening his case

But according to the review application, Mr. Mahama insisted that the apex court made fundamental errors in its ruling. He is thus praying the court to reconsider his new argument and depart from its earlier ruling. “I am advised by counsel and verily believe the court made fundamental errors of law including the ruling being per incuriam of constitutional provisions, statutes and previous decisions of the Supreme Court.” “Among these errors, I am advised by counsel and verily believe is an error whereby the courts subordinates a provision in the Evidence Act to a rule in subsidiary legislation by the Rules of Court Committee,” the application added. The said application is expected to be heard on Monday, February 22, 2021. What happened within the week? The Supreme Court in a unanimous decision within the week dismissed the application filed by the petitioner, seeking a review of an earlier ruling affirming the right of the Chairperson of the EC, Jean Mensa not to testify in the ongoing case. In that ruling, the court also said the petitioner didn’t convince the bench to depart from its earlier ruling. “The applicant has failed to satisfy the court that a new or important matter resulted from the reference to the constitutional provisions referred to [in the earlier ruling].” “In the result, the application fails, and it is hereby dismissed,” the Chief Justice read on behalf of the panel of justices. The court also struck out application of stay of proceedings filed Mr. Mahama. The court in ruling on the matter said the determination of the review application renders the stay application moot.

Akoto-Ampaw Asks SC To Charge Mahama For “Abuse Of Court Process”

Lead Counsel for the second respondent in the ongoing 2020 election petition, President Akufo-Addo during Thursday’s hearing at the Supreme Court said the petitioner should be charged for ‘an abuse of court process’. The petitioner, former President John Mahama filed an application for review of the Supreme Court’s February 11th decision which quashed an earlier application to cross-examine the EC chairperson, Madam Jean Mensa. During legal argument on Thursday, Lawyer Akoto Ampaw who described the review application as “a classic case of an aggrieved party who has become emotional by the decision of the court (and) seeks to reargue his case through the back door of an apparently review application” said even though no cost is awarded in a ‘constitutional matter’, the Supreme Court should make this exceptional. “ . . an abuse of court process and even though we are all aware that in constitutional matters like this no cost is awarded, I think this is a special occasion where cost should be awarded,” he said. After the SC gave its ruling and dismissed the application review, lawyer Akoto Ampaw reechoed his assertion; insisting that the petitioner has “abused court process”. However, the Chief Justice Anin Yeboah replied: “it is a constitutional matter and the practice which has been settled in this court is that you don’t award cost in constitutional matters. Akoto-Ampaw came again: “I think the court should be amenable to grant cost even in constitutional matters”. And the Chief Justice rebutted; “Please we won’t” Review application dismissed The Supreme Court has overruled former President John Mahama’s application for review of its earlier decision not to compel the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Madam Jean Mensa to testify. Mahama, the petitioner in the ongoing election petition requested that the Apex Court review its February 11 decision which indicated that ” . . simply put, we are not convinced and will not yield to the invitation being extended to us by counsel of the petitioner to order the respondents to enter the witness box to be cross-examined, accordingly we hereby overrule the objection raised by the counsel for the petitioner against the decision of the respondents declining to adduce evidence in this petition”. According to the lead counsel of the petitioner, Tsatsu Tsikata, the Court made fundamental errors of law and that those errors had occasioned “a miscarriage of justice against me (the Petitioner).” However, after hearing arguments from all parties during today’s hearing, the 9-member panel dismissed the application. The panel of 7 judges was reconstituted to 9 because it was a review hearing. The ruling which was delivered by the Chief Justice said the review application has failed. Stay of Proceeding Meanwhile, the application to stay proceeding filed by the petitioner is now moot. It may be recalled that lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata filed two new applications at the Supreme Court after the motion to reopen their case was dismissed: Application to stay proceeding and Application for review. According to the Chief Justice, the stay proceeding application has been struck out because it was pending the application for review and that has been dismissed. The hearing has been adjourned to Monday 22nd February, 2021. Peacefm Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications. Contact: +233555568093

Withdraw the case, “don’t allow the injustices judges to give an injustice judgement”

Stephen Atubiga has intensified his call for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the petitioner the former President John Dramani Mahama to withdraw the ongoing election petition. According to Mr. Atubiga, the party should not allow what he describes as ‘injustices judges’ to give an injustice judgment. “We should not allow the injustices judges to give an injustice judgment. We are ready and standing by to face some national leadership of the NDC squarely after the case is over”. Below is the full statement: NDC / JDM should withdraw from the election petition. We should not allow the injustices judges to give an injustice judgment. We are ready and standing by to face some national leadership of the NDC squarely after the case is over. A lot of questions to ask. Most of the national executives should not even try seeking re-election. Whilst the like of General mosquito, Sammy Gymfi, Otokunor, and co must be re-elected. Unopposed if possible. 1)The EC headquarters strong room case would be settled the NDC way after the court. 2)The conspiracy theory in Kumasi and other areas about JDMs votes reduction would be settled the NDC ways. 3)we would know, how one million, seven hundred specifically given to it, just for the collation of results, and end results we got. 4) we will know how most national executives were not in talking terms during election time till date, and expecting to give JDM victory. 5) we will know how others deliberately ignored others who were able and ready to help give JDM victory. 6) why others were bent on sitting around JDM, especially on D day instead of on the ground to give JDM victory. 7) from JDM campaign team and the NDC team, who was in charge on D day , failed to coordinate for our victory. 8) why JDM campaign manager and his team did not declare JDM winner immediately after the election. And announcement of his transitional team. 9) from the youth wings, organizers wing to zongo wings have lots of questions for them after the election petition. Some should resign for their own interest. 10) JDM our leader today and tomorrow, and candidate today and tomorrow. Will equally be told the hardest truth, those who cussed his defeat, those who (had) and have no business around him. Those who could have propelled his victory, if he had sought their help. Especially why JDM with his experience, is refusing to see the direct and indirect traps around him For his defeat today and tomorrow? 11) JDM must know NDC party machinery is not religious, to be Mr nice and good father for all, especially in election periods. JDM must know he is occupying the vacuum of JJ as our leader for life today. JDM is holding 60/100 stake in the NDC party today. JDM is the only surviving former president and incoming president if he sits up. JDM should get it now that, blood must sometimes have to flow both internally and externally for NDCs victory Well, a lot of anger and disappointing issues to let out, after the election petition is over.
