The member of parliament for Gushegu, Alhassan Tampuli, a co-sponsor of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, commonly known as the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill, has made a bold declaration against same sex marriage.
According to Alhassan Tampuli, he can assure that a man will never marry a man, nor will a woman marry a woman here in Ghana.
He stressed that Ghana remains committed to upholding its cultural and family values.
Speaking at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values, Alhassan Tampuli stated, “I want to assure you, it will never happen. A man will never marry a man here in Ghana. And a woman will never marry a woman here in Ghana”.
His comments come on the back of Moses Foh-Amoaning, the Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, who has urged African leaders not to be fooled by the advocacy of LGBTQ+ advocates.
According to Foh-Amoaning, claims linking LGBTQ+ rights to international human rights law are misleading.
He urged African lawmakers not to be persuaded by arguments suggesting that LGBTQ+ rights are protected under international legal frameworks.
Speaking at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values on Thursday, June 4, 2026, Foh-Amoaning stated, “Don’t be fooled by the human rights argument. It is a lie from hell”.
“This is an agenda-seeking set of people who are clear on what they want, and their hallmark is deception, and that’s what I want to expose,” he said.
Foh-Amoaning added, “So when you hear them talking about human rights, sexual rights, constitutional rights, it’s all false”.
“I want this conference not be fooled by anybody and say okay, we’re afraid because we’re going to be fighting or conflicting with some international law framework,” he said.
“My point is LGBTQ rights have never been part of the international legal framework. They were implied, and they were forced into our laws,” Mr Foh-Amoaning said.
In a separate interview, Moses Foh-Amoaning slammed President John Mahama following his recent remarks over the anti-LGBTQ Bill.
According to Western countries and multilateral organisations, they are forcing Ghana to accept homosexuality, arguing that President Mahama must see this as another form of slavery.
He argued that President Mahama must treat the anti-LGBTQ Bill the same way he treated the United Nations resolution that recognised slavery as the gravest crime against humanity.
Speaking in a recent interview on Asempa FM, Foh-Amoaning stated, “Let me speak directly to my good friend the president. Look, Mr President, in all humility, the slave trade was ended in 1807, 2018 years ago. We have gone to the US and gotten a resolution that says it (the slave trade) is the crime of the century; that’s fine.
“And so, Mr President, can’t you see that this thing that the UN agencies – WHO, UNESCO, UNDP, all of them – have joined forces to stop the passage of the law (anti-gay law), and they are pumping money into the country… so we have these things the same people who created slavery Britain, Denmark are the same people pushing the country for men to be sleeping with men,” he said in the Twi dialect.
He added, “This sort of behaviour that they are forcing on us, Mr President, can’t you see this is a modern form of slavery?”
Foh-Amoaning argued that President Mahama should have used the opportunity to speak for Ghanaians.
He stated, “Instead of you speaking for us, you are saying it is not your priority. I don’t understand it. Also, even the bill that has been passed, you are saying it would take some time”.
“Mr President, you are going the same way as the former president, but this time, because I’m your good friend, I would tell you. Ghanaians are very serious; it is our leadership”, he added.
