Former NDC MP for Tamale Central, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini has said that it is time Ghana starts recognizing the rights of LGBTQI.
In an interview on Okay FM, Mr Fuseini said the issue of LGBTQI is a matter of human rights and a nation like Ghana must begin to recognize that.
Even though he does not support the act of homosexuality from his Muslim background, Mr Fuseini says as a lawyer, he recognizes the rights of such persons.
“As a Muslim, I cannot support the activities of the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender, Queer Intersex but if you ask me as a lawyer, I think that we are fighting a losing battle. If we want to create a right-based society, it means that if someone has the right to do something, you cannot prevent that person from doing it,” he added.
“If you prevent the person, then you are not creating an open society. Even in our criminal code which we borrowed from our colonial masters, we have unnatural canal knowledge introduced by the British, but now that law is no longer in Britain, new ones were born. They said that that law violates some rights,” he stressed.
