Asiedu Nketiah, who is popularly known as General Mosquito, has however asserted that President Akufo-Addo’s reluctance to openly address the bill reflects an attempt to avoid taking a clear position.
He suggested that the president might be aiming to shift responsibility onto the judiciary or other parties, allowing him to disassociate himself from any potential backlash.
“The truth is that he doesn’t have the courage to say his position on the bill.
That is why he wants to shift that responsibility to the judiciary or another person so he can later go and stand somewhere to say that he didn’t sign the bill.
“He doesn’t want people to know that he is not in support of the Anti-LGBT+ Bill that is why there are some hurdles.
If he had been able to stand his ground to say that he was not in support of the bill, his MPs would have also stood their ground to say that they were not in support,” citinewsroom.com quoted him to have said in an interview on Asempa FM on March 27, 2024.
He further noted that while MPs agree with the bill within the confines of parliament, their actions outside of it suggest a different stance.
