A leading member of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Kobina Tahir Hammond has vowed to severely deal with Minister of Education, Matthew Opoku-Prempeh should the controversial  Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) be implemented.

The Member of Parliament for the Adansi Asokwa constituency in the Ashanti Region vehemently indicated that the Akufo-Addo government will not proceed to introduce the unanimously condemned curricula into the educational system.

He stressed that the parliament of Ghana will reject the proposal if it is brought to the house.

“If this CSE is brought to Parliament, the Speaker of Parliament Aaron Mike Oquaye will burn the Parliament, the Majority Leader will run into the bush and die there, the Minority Leader will strip naked and jump into the sea,” he said.

Christian and Islamic clerics, as well as civil society organisations and Ghanaians on social media, expressed outrage about initial reports of the inclusion of CSE into the curricula describing it as “satanic” and a pro-LGBT agenda.

However, Dr Prempeh said in a press statement on Tuesday, 1 October 2019 that: “The curriculum framework (KG-P6) approved by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) for use in the development of school curriculum, which has been approved by Cabinet and published does not include CSE”.

He further noted that: “The curriculum for KG-P6 approved by Cabinet for use in schools and published does not include CSE”.

Wading in the controversy, Mr Hammond at the commissioning of two classroom blocks for Fumso and Pipiiso D/A JHS in his constituency, said Education Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh is “too sane” to lead an agenda to teach Ghanaian children “ungodly” lifestyles.

He said Ghana is a country full of God-fearing citizens who find liberal sexual lifestyles reprehensible adding that even fake pastors won’t support it.

‘Nobody teaches a child God,’ he quoted a Twi proverb to explain a general belief in the existence of God whose manifest commands are to be obeyed.

“Why, haven’t we all read about Sodom and Gomorrah?” KT Hammond referred to a popular Bible story of how a city was burnt down after it incurred the wrath of God for its deviant sexual lifestyles.

While vouching for the sanity of the Education minister Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the NPP MP added a caveat that if it is indeed true.

“If I get to Accra and learn that indeed my nephew NAPO is covertly pushing that agenda, I swear I will never mention his name on this earth again and we will deal with him severely in whatever way.”
