Ghana will not legalise homosexuality – Speaker

The Speaker of Parliament, Prof Mike Oquaye, says leaders in countries like Ghana would not countenance the aggressive push by external forces to accept acts such as homosexuality, bestiality among others.

His caution follows a courtesy call on him by a delegation from Amnesty International, where it made demands including scrapping of the death penalty from the statute books.

But the Speaker said African leaders are getting tired of some of these demands on the basis of human rights.
