The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has finally spoken on the raging issue of legitimising homosexuality in Ghana. In a private meeting with UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, in London, Akufo-Addo chided Mr. Cameron for failing to appreciate the cultural, religious and legal frameworks of African countries when he threatened to cut off aid to countries that frown on gay rights. Mr. Cameron received massive condemnation from Africans in general and Ghanaians in particular when he indicated that future UK aid would be tied to the acceptance of homosexuality. There had been calls from members of the ruling NDC for Akufo-Addo to declare his stance on the issue, after President John Atta Mills and other political leaders categorically rejected Mr. Cameron’s threat. The NPP General Secretary, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, who is with Akufo-Addo in London, in an exclusive interview with Citi News said, “yesterday [Thursday] the prime minister of Great Britain invited Nana Akufo and had a private meeting with him. "It lasted for about 20 to 30 minutes at Number 10 Downing Street." Sir John added: "Nana took the opportunity to firstly talk about the gay matters that has been pervading the country [Ghana]." Mr. Afriyie stated that, “Nana Addo expressed the sentiments of the people of Ghana by stating that our cultural and religious framework should not be disrupted by foreign powers especially coming from Mr. Cameron. ” According to the NPP general secretary, the British prime minister was appreciative of Nana Addo’s remarks and promised to be circumspect in terms of how he addressed the cultural and religious sensitivities of other nations.
