The Minority in the Parliament of Ghana has decided to begin impeachment processes against the current president of Ghana Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo.
The political landscape in Ghana is heating up as the Minority in Parliament gears up for a monumental move against President Nana Akufo-Addo.
At the heart of this brewing storm is the President’s reluctance to endorse the controversial anti-gay bill, which has sparked significant debate across the nation.
The Minority’s announcement signals a significant escalation in the ongoing battle between the government’s executive branch and its legislative counterpart over LGBTQ rights in Ghana.
Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has been vocal about the Minority’s dissatisfaction with the President’s stance.
He specifically pointed to a directive from the Secretary to the President, which effectively halted the transmission of the anti-LGBTQ bill to the Jubilee House, labeling it as both “uncalled for” and “unacceptable.”
This move by the executive has not only angered members of the opposition but has also raised concerns about constitutional breaches and the undermining of Ghana’s democratic processes.
Dr. Forson’s declaration in Parliament on Thursday, March 21, underscores a deep commitment to upholding the constitution and safeguarding the nation’s legislative integrity.
The opposition views the President’s actions as a direct threat to the societal and moral fabric of Ghana, emphasizing the need for swift and decisive action to rectify what they perceive as a grave constitutional violation.
