Veteran journalist, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr has viciously chastised some religious leaders for criticizing the Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE).

The Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper said religious leaders in the country hastily and mischievously criticized the CSE  instead of double-checking their facts.

Speaking on Peace FM's ‘Kokrokoo’, Mr Baako asserted: "Some of the religious leaders much earlier should have been circumspect and sought information and education. If some of them had taken their time to obtain the information needed perhaps, they would not have joined that mischievous bandwagon . . .”

Christian and Islamic clerics expressed outrage about initial reports of the inclusion of CSE into the curricula describing it as “satanic” and a pro-LGBT agenda.

The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) at a press conference also said the mere suspension of CSE is not enough and is demanding a total withdrawal.

"I won't call it Comprehensive Sexuality Education, it is Comprehensive Satanic Engagement," GPCC President, Rev. Dr Paul Yaw Frimpong-Manso said.

Their counterpart, the Office of the Natioanl Chief Imam (ONCI) and other Islamic organisations in the country also waded in.

The Personal Assistant to the National Chief Imam and Director of the Youth and Interfaith Programmes of the ONCI, Alhaji Khuzaima Osman, strongly pointed out that the Islamic Muslim community in Ghana was united in the call for the CSE to be reversed.
