Governance Lecturer at the Central University, Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah has entreated Members of Parliament who wholeheartedly fought for the approval anti-gay bill to extend same energy in fighting corruption in the country.

The bill, which aims to uphold Ghanaian family values and ensure appropriate human sexual rights, was unanimously accepted by the Members of Parliament on Wednesday.

It is currently undergoing the final stages of approval before it can be enacted into law.

Once in effect, individuals found engaging in homosexual acts or openly expressing support for the LGBTQ+ community and their activities will be subject to criminal charges, including imprisonment, fines, or both.

Discussing the matter during a media engagement,Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah noted that LGBTQ+ was said to be a "mental disorder" but the forces that be have managed to convince the World Health Organization to revise their documents in support of them.

To him, those who practice homosexuality are "mad people".

He, therefore, commended the MPs for fully supporting the bill and also advised them to display the same energy in fighting corruption.

"The way they have all unanimously accepted this with one voice, I am expecting that they will also, with one voice, fight against corruption," he said.
