The NPP youth activist who was arrested Wednesday for allegedly insulting President Mills says he never referred to the president as being gay as is being speculated.He has therefore challenged anybody who claims to have heard him say the contrary to prove him wrong by playing to the hearing of all Ghanaians his statements on air.Mr John Kumah was arrested on Wednesday for alleged offensive conduct of reportedly calling the President a homosexual during a radio discussion last week.He was later released apparently upon instructions from the President who is reported to have said he has no interest in pursuing the case.Explaining himself on Peace FM’s current affairs programme Kokrokoo Thursday, Mr Kumah said his derogatory remarks about the President was only in response to distasteful utterances made by an activist of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) on the same radio programme.He however maintained that though he disrespected the President by his comment, he never used the word ‘gay’ and asked those who are trying to twist the facts to speak the truth.John Kumah, who is also a leading member of the group called Young Patriots, asked those who provoke insults to desist from the practice, saying that nobody can control or restrain what the other person would say when responding to insults from their opponents.Story by Dorcas Efe Mensah/myjoyonline.com/Ghana
