Lawyer Moses Foh-Amoaning

You're a homosexual & disgrace to your family - Foh-Amoaning fires Amnesty Board
Host of NEAT FM’s morning show, Kwesi Aboagye
had the toughest time controlling Law lecturer,
Moses Foh-Amoaning and Mr. George Aggrey, Board
Chairman of Amnesty International Ghana during a
telephone interview on whether Ghana should or
should not accept homophile practice.

Both resource persons held different views on the
subject – however, their heated argument led to
some personal attacks during the live interview on
NEAT FM’s morning show 'Ghana Montie'.

Mr. George Aggrey who failed to openly dismiss
claims regarding his alleged status as a
homosexual was described by the renowned lawyer as
a disgrace to his entire family – a comment the
Human Rights Group, Amnesty board chairman did not
take lightly.

“You are a grown up person, were you taught by
your parents to have sex through your anus? Are
you gay? Do you have sex through your anus? Why
are you lying to Ghanaians that homosexuality is
good?” Moses Foh-Amoaning quizzed but was not
answered.

Genesis of the gay issue

The Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Oquaye when
addressing some members of the Royal House Chapel
on Monday, February 20, 2017, called for the
amendment of the country’s laws to completely
ban homosexuality and make it illegal.

He described homosexuality as despicable and
against the country’s culture which cannot be
accepted.

He said: “It is unfortunate that people have
become so liberal that they will want to
liberalise Christianity…even priests are
approving of homosexuality and allowing a man and
a man [to] marry, a woman and a woman [to] marry
and these are manifest abominations.”

“I trust that with your kind of insistence, the
Parliament of Ghana…will find its way clear in
strengthening the laws to ban homosexuality as
they exist. As for this, may God forbid that it
becomes a Ghanaian culture,” he added.

Amnesty stance on gay issues

The Human Rights Group, upon the Speaker’s call,
launched a strong resistance against the amendment
of the country’s laws to completely ban
homosexuality and make it illegal.

According to the group’s board chairman, Mr.
George Aggrey, it will be ‘dangerous’ and
tendency of infringing the fundamental and
universal rights of those engaged in
homosexuality.

“Everyone has their freedom and rights and must
not be shattered by any law. Our position is that
it is a right for every individual to practice
what they want. If the person thinks homosexuality
is good, allow the person to practice it. That is
their right,” he said.

“If our culture is against gayism, then we must
educate our children when they are young to
abstain. If the person is above 18, then you
can’t force the person to stop that in any way.
There’s no law in Ghana that is against
homosexuality, there is no law,” he noted.

Lawyer Foh-Amoaning’s position

The law lecturer, however, schooled Mr. Aggrey
that “There are laws in Ghana and homosexuality
is not accepted in our culture. Inasmuch as we
have our rights, we don’t have the right to do
everything. Can I have sex with my mother because
I have my right? Mr Aggrey, you are a disgrace to
your own family.”

“Mr. Aggrey is a homosexual and lying to
Ghanaians. I am putting it to you [Aggrey] that
you are practising gayism. You are a disgrace to
your family. How can you admit anal sex is a
right,” he charged.
