Ningo Prampram MP Sam Nartey George has told the Spanish Embassy that it cannot bless same-sex marriages on Ghanaian soil.

It follows claims by a group of journalists that its information suggests the Spanish Ambassador intends to bless a gay couple within the walls of the Spanish Embassy in Accra.

In a Facebook post on Monday, 23 May 2022, the anti-LGBQI+ campaigner who is championing the total proscription of gay activities in Ghana through a private members’ bill, wrote on his Facebook page: “Dear Spanish Embassy in Ghana, I am currently on an official assignment outside the jurisdiction. I would be addressing your letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Regional Integration, Ghana indicating your intent to ‘bless’ same-sex marriages in Ghana. Be minded that you are simply guests of our Country”.

“I am well informed that the position of the Ministry is in line with our culture, traditions and current position of our laws. I wonder why you are not pushing your perverse agenda in Togo, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast,” the opposition MP said.

“Ghana would NOT succumb to this atrocious attempt to change our cultural identity. This should be a wake-up call to all who say the Bill currently before parliament is not necessary and that the intent of our antagonists are harmless.”

“I want to personally urge the Chairman of the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs to rise up to the task before his committee and allow the process to proceed with any further hindrance. It is the least service he can render to his Constituents and Nation,” he added.
