Sam George and anti-LGBTQI campaigners give IGP 24 hours to pull down alleged LGBTQI billboard
A critic of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex, (LGBTQI) Community and Legislator for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George is leaving no stone unturned in his crusade against the act as he has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to authorities to pull down a billboard on the motorway that supposedly promotes LGBTQI activities.
“We are calling on the Inspector General of Police to immediately, within the next 24 hours carry out the necessary security operations to ensure that this billboard which is an affront to the Constitution is taken down in conjunction with the MCE for the area.”
As one of the sponsors of the anti- LGBTQI Bill currently before the house, he has complained that the promotion of the practice through outdoor advertising is illegal.
“Over the weekend, our attention was drawn to illegality that flies in the face of the Constitution of Ghana – Articles 11 and 26 which talk about Ghana’s cultural sovereignty. We noticed that a billboard promoting the activities of LGBTQ activities has been mounted along the motorway.
“As sponsors of the bill before Parliament and as members of Parliament who represent the aspirations and will of Ghanaians, we have deemed it important to show up here today to register most strongly our displeasure, discomfort and abhorrence for this unholy, unculturable and untraditional advertisement that has been put up on this road.”
