Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Samuel Nartey George, has reaffirmed his unwavering stance on LGBTQ+ matters following Ghana’s recent abstention from a vote on draft resolution L.24.
In a post shared on Facebook, Mr Nartey stated, “My position on the matter of LGBTQ+ remains steadfast. I have read the full statement Ghana made on the floor in relation to our position on draft resolution L.24. I align fully with the letter and spirit of the text.”
He expressed deep concern over the decision to abstain in the subsequent vote, saying, “I cannot, however, in good conscience understand the decision to abstain in the subsequent vote. That vote is in conflict with Ghana’s espoused position and my conscience. We must at all times make our position clear and unambiguous.”
