Audio Attachment:Listen to the hot exchanges between Moses Foh-Amoaning and Mr. George Aggrey on Neat FM. |
Host of NEAT FM’s morning show, Kwesi Aboagye had the toughest time controlling Law lecturer, Moses Foh-Amoaning and Mr. George Aggrey, Board Chairman of Amnesty International Ghana during a telephone interview on whether Ghana should or should not accept homophile practice.
Both resource persons held different views on the subject – however, their heated argument led to some personal attacks during the live interview on NEAT FM’s morning show 'Ghana Montie'.
Mr. George Aggrey who failed to openly dismiss claims regarding his alleged status as a homosexual, was described by the renowned lawyer as a disgrace to his entire family – a comment the Human Rights Group, Amnesty board chairman did not take lightly.
“You are a grown up person, were you taught by your parents to have sex through your anus? Are you gay? Do you have sex through your anus? Why are you lying to Ghanaians that homosexuality is good?” Moses Foh-Amoaning quizzed but was not answered.
Genesis of the gay issue
The Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Oquaye when addressing some members of the Royal House Chapel on Monday, February 20, 2017, called for the amendment of the country’s laws to completely ban homosexuality and make it illegal.
He described homosexuality as despicable and against the country’s culture which cannot be accepted.
He said: “It is unfortunate that people have become so liberal that they will want to liberalise Christianity…even priests are approving of homosexuality and allowing a man and a man [to] marry, a woman and a woman [to] marry and these are manifest abominations.”
“I trust that with your kind of insistence, the Parliament of Ghana…will find its way clear in strengthening the laws to ban homosexuality as they exist. As for this, may God forbid that it becomes a Ghanaian culture,” he added.
Amnesty stance on gay issues
The Human Rights Group, upon the Speaker’s call, launched a strong resistance against the amendment of the country’s laws to completely ban homosexuality and make it illegal.
According to the group’s board chairman, Mr. George Aggrey, it will be ‘dangerous’ and tendency of infringing the fundamental and universal rights of those engaged in homosexuality.
“Everyone has their freedom and rights and must not be shattered by any law. Our position is that, it is a right for every individual to practice what they want. If the person think homosexuality is good, allow the person to practice it. That is their right,” he said.
“If our culture is against gayism, then we must educate our children when they are young to abstain. If the person is above 18, then you can’t force the person to stop that in any way. There’s no law in Ghana that is against homosexuality, there is no law,” he noted.
Lawyer Foh-Amoaning’s position
The law lecturer however schooled Mr. Aggrey that “There are laws in Ghana and homosexuality is not accepted in our culture. In as much as we have our rights, we don’t have the right to do everything. Can I have sex with my mother because I have my right? Mr Aggrey, you are disgrace to your own family.”
“Mr. Aggrey is a homosexual and lying to Ghanaians. I am putting it to you [Aggrey] that you are practicing gayism. You are a disgrace to your family. How can you admit anal sex is a right,” he charged.

I promise you Foh-Amoaneng and Mike Oquaye are probably gay men in the closet. This always happens. Bigots and the loud ones who want judge and discriminate against gays are usually themselves guilty of the same and because they hate themselves so much, they channel their energies into destroying people like them. I don't get gay lifestyle but I won't judge or persecute or discriminate against them. We are not God. Let God be the judge
The host is simply unprofessional. The argusnents by the lawyer cannot hold nor support facts. I am not gay but I see no reason to thread this line of arguement.
61 comments & counting eii Ghanafuor kasa! But why are Ghanaians so obsessed with this gay issue anyway? Will gayism give us food to eat or pay our bills or what? When I was in boarding school (mixed school) there were so many of these guys around. Even growing up there was this girlish tailor we used to tease us 'kojobesia'. So I don't know why people are getting high blood pressure over it now. So what does Moses want us to do to them, kill all of them or what? lol
Simple logic: America has its laws, right? Some of their laws, i consider it very s.t.u.pid but because its their country and they have agreed to live by it, I agree. The UK too, some very ***barred word*** laws. But i know Democracy is geographical. So Ghana has a law that does not support these acts. What is the business of Amnesty International? Why do they think they know better than anybody? If you are bold, go and tell China this, tell Russia too. Stop fulling around with developing countries that you give $10,000 to so think you control them. Should we all be govern by the same laws?
Mr For Amoaning's argument on this issue is complite y infantile. So if a lawyer defends an armed robber in law court, does it make him an armed robber? You're a lawyer, I expect you to argue as such. Stop the sentiment. Are you cra zy or what?
This so call George Aggrey is one of the reason why i always curse the people who extend civilization and technologies to blacks. So this is all what you can become after your father paid your fees with his Slavery salary. G. Aggrey, Thank ur start that Postinor 2 was unknown then.
***barred word*** ***barred word*** supporting gaysm.They don't even fear the wrath of God. Immorality to the highest order.Shame unto you gays and lesbians.How did your mother get impregnated and gave birth to you?***barred word*** ***barred word***.Do you why americans sometimes use the slung word arsehole?Go and check why?DIRTY ***barred word*** ***barred word*** PEOPLE.May you die and rot in hell fire.Kwaaaasiiiiaaaaa!!!!!!
Mr. Kwabena,but how can you be a Christian who hates gayism and yet seek to argue from so- called empirical facts.If you are a Christian your empirical facts are what the Bible says,not so?
Mr Aggrey whoever u call urself please stop... With this stand that the gays have taken now people have advanced to sleeping with sheeps, etc and even snakes. GOD forgivre us.
"Thou shalt not commit adultery." A canker affecting our society and families, that ironically, our church loving culture refuses to talk about.
