President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said it is not his intention to promote homosexuality in Ghana.

The debate of legalization of Homosexuality in Ghana was raised when the President in an Interview with Aljazeera said the legalisation of homosexuality was bound to happen in Ghana if there is a push for the agenda from the public.

The statement which generated a number of criticism from majority of Ghanaians further added that the legalisation was not on the national agenda at that moment.

When asked on Wednesday, 17 January at the Flagstaff House during his encounter with journalists about whether his comments on Aljazeera were part of a grand coordinated scheme to push for the legalisation of homosexuality in Ghana, the president said: “I am not involved in any conspiracies. I am not part of any conspiracy to promote anything.

“I think these are matters that are in the public domain and people are entitled to their own views. There is no concerted synchronised attempt on my part to promote the advocacy of it.”
