"Ghana's parliament has passed a tough new bill that imposes a prison sentence of up to three years for anyone convicted of identifying as LGBTQ+.
It also imposes a maximum five-year jail term for forming or funding LGBTQ+ groups.
Lawmakers heckled down attempts to replace prison sentences with community service and counselling.
It is the latest sign of growing opposition to LGBTQ+ rights in the conservative West African nation.
The bill, which had the backing of Ghana's two major political parties, will come into effect only if President Nana Akufo-Addo signs it into law. He previously said that he would do so if the majority of Ghanaians want him to.
Gay sex is already against the law in Ghana - it carries a three-year prison sentence."

President's reshuffle signifes elevation of 'mate' to 'driver' status - Dr. Osei-Kufuor avers

President's reshuffle signifes elevation of 'mate' to 'driver' status - Dr. Osei-Kufuor avers
A Senior Research Fellow with the Department of Peace Studies, School for Development Studies, University of Cape Coast, Dr. Patrick Osei-Kufuor has avered that, the current reshuffle by President Akufo-Addo signifies the elevation of the Vice President.
He describes the reshuffle as the elevation of the ‘mate’ to the ‘driver’ status.
In a telephone conversation on GBC Radio Central’s ‘Wɔnfrɛ Yie’ show, Saturday February 17, 2024 and analysing President Akufo-Addo’s current reshuffle, he said the reshuffle places the Veep in the steering wheel to steer the affairs of state as he leads the New Patriotic Party.
Again, “the reshuffle is communicating the setting aside of Nana loyalist and perceived Bawumia lotalist stepping in. Also, those who Bawumia would need in other capacities to help his campaign have also been relieved of their position by the president”, shared the Senior Research Fellow.
According to Dr. Osei-Kufuor, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam is a known close associate of Dr. Bawumia and this is telling us that, the President of the Republic is giving him some powers and opportunities to his mate (Veep) to be in the driving seat as he tries to lead the nation.
“In real life, a mate is allowed to move and pack a car ones in a while as part of the learning processes and the reshuffle is what I see Nana Akufo-Addo doing for Bawumia”, he highlited.
Touching on the impact of the reshuffle, the Vice Dean, School For Development Studies however agreed that much cannot be achieved in this short time, underscoring “I expect to see some few changes and the implementation of the some of the vision as outlined by Dr. Bawumia recently”, stated him.
All these in the view of Dr. Osei-Kufuor is to present Bawumia as someone who means what intends to do and based on that he can achieve what hid desired goals. “Also the Akyem mafia tag is no more. Two Akyems, ie Ofori-Atta and Amoako Atta have been step aside and all these signifies that Bawumia wants to reduce that perception too. These are signs that Nana Akufo-Addo want to give power to Bawumia, the mate”, he stated.
Examining how auspicious the timing of the reshuffle was, the
Conflict Management, Security Management and Development expect argued that the party had a lot issues to deal with and they felt they wanted to solve all those differences before the reshuffle.
“Though the reshuffle was expected, there was a lot of turbulence because the party was going through its primaries and it was only expedient for them to wait to implement such a major reshuffle after the primaries.
“People have also been calling upon the Veep to assert himself and to be in charge and the reshuffle is asserting Bawumia and putting him in charge. It’s too late though but it’s for a better course which might fit into their strategy”, he avered.

Ghana must brace for future calamity and leadership crisis
Did we elect traitors or leaders? For this reason, Ghana must brace for future calamity and a leadership crisis.
Opinion: Francis Npong
When Judas Iscariot was asked to join Jesus’ ministry, he was already engaged in money-making. He is thought to have hailed from a family with ties to terrorism, theft, and a fanatical Jewish sect that was obsessed with accumulating fortune at any cost.
Judas humbly made a bid for a more lucrative role in Jesus’ ministry: finance. Judas was given money for the ministry…

If Nana Addo was the IGP, NDC Would've Won Assin-North - Benjamin Quashie
New Post has been published on https://plugzafrica.com/if-nana-addo-was-the-igp-ndc-wouldve-won-assin-north-benjamin-quashie/
If Nana Addo was the IGP, NDC Would've Won Assin-North - Benjamin Quashie
Mr. Benjamin Kofi Quashie, South African National Democratic Congress Council of Elders Chair and the Group Chairman for Allied Consortiums has questioned the rationale for some persons plotting to oust IGP, Dr. George Akufo Dampare, as having NDC leanings.
He questions what the current IGP has done to showcase that he is NDC and the plot to get rid of him.
Speaking on CTV’s ‘Dwabrɛ Mu Nsɛm’, Mr. Quashie wondered whether, from the contents of the viral audio tape, one can safely conclude that in all the elections the NPP has won, the IGPs then did something to help their cause, he quizzed again.
The SA NDC Council Chair furthered that with reference to the Assin-North By-electons, the constituents overwhelmingly endorsed Gyakye Quayson. “Even if President Akufo-Addo was the IGP, the NDC would have won because the will of the people could not be changed”.
“Nana Addo can be the IGP going into 2024, the will of the people wouldn’t change. There is nothing Nana Akufo-Addo as IGP could do to help”, he emphasized.
According to Mr. Quashie, there is another audio tape which purports to suggest to be the voices of Justin Kodua and Gabby. In that audio tape, Kodua was questioning the police about why they were arresting only NPP folks? In the opinion of Mr. Quashie, he has no right to makes such comments. “The truth of the matter is, if your people are falling short of the law, would they not be arrested? They arrested your people because of the impunity they were perpetrating”, he stated.
He further alleged that, the NPP wanted a repeat of what happened at Ayawaso West Wuogon but, “The people of Assin-North were determined to face the police boot-for-boot because the country has gotten to a stage where all of us are tired and people are prepared to stand up and fight for the course of this country. People wanted to ensure the right things were done”, he claimed.
In the view of Mr. Benjamin Quashie, the IGP hasn’t done anything to show his bias for NDC but rather he has demonstrated his capabilities to protect the law and that is what matters going into the 2024 elections.
“The NPP has promised to break the 8. If they’re saying they can’t just because of the IGP, then, they’re fooling all of us. They should let their record break the 8 and leave the IGP alone”.
