Bawumia rejects Finance Ministry’s warning, stands firm against LGBTQ+ acceptance despite economic risks

We believe in Bawumi’s leadership and vision for Ghana – Nadowli/Kaleo Chiefs

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has firmly stated that Ghana will not accept LGBTQ+ practices, even if it means facing significant economic repercussions.

During a campaign tour in the Eastern Region, where he addressed chiefs, religious leaders, and key stakeholders in Abuakwa North, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the importance of upholding the nation’s cultural, familial, and religious values.

“Under a Bawumia government, LGBTQ+ practices will never be accepted. We must stand firm on this issue, regardless of the cost. Our culture, marriage, and religion will be preserved,” Dr. Bawumia declared.

His stance directly opposes a cautionary statement issued by the Finance Ministry on March 4, 2024. The ministry advised the government against signing the “Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill” recently passed by Parliament, citing potential economic consequences.

According to the Finance Ministry, Ghana could lose approximately US$3.8 billion in World Bank financing over the next five to six years, including US$600 million in budget support and US$250 million for the Financial Stability Fund in 2024 alone.

The ministry also warned of the possible negative effects on Ghana’s foreign exchange reserves and exchange rate stability.

The “Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill,” which criminalizes LGBTQ+ activities and their promotion, was unanimously passed by Parliament on February 28, 2024.

If signed into law by the President, the bill would impose penalties ranging from six months to three years of imprisonment for individuals engaged in same-sex activities.

However, the bill’s future remains uncertain as it faces legal challenges, with two lawsuits currently before the Supreme Court questioning its constitutionality.

Despite these challenges and the economic concerns raised, Dr. Bawumia’s remarks suggest a strong commitment to rejecting LGBTQ+ practices in Ghana.
