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.

Lol Ghanaians think everyone must think alike so they can't believe James, funny etc are different people. Gay people have been in our society since the beginning of time and will continue to be in it no matter how many laws you pass or how much you discriminate against them. Better for people to learn how to accept those different from them wai
Well done Mr. Foh. We need people like you in our society to educate people who cannot reason properly.
Those who are talking about right, are they trying to tell us that they now know everything better than GOD the SUPREME being?People like that, I think animals are even better than them.
Mr. Foh Amoani... don't waste your breath!!! If they are men with balls in between their thighs.... They should organize a wedding ceremony for a gay/lesbian couple and they will UNDERSTAND the kind of business we mean!!! Animals without sense or thinking faculties nmpo...don't do this!!! They should not hide behind these platforms and be making noise.... They should show their faces!!!!
wat de hell is this moses guys problem? if u want to sleep wit ur mum den go ahead. all u stuppppiiiiid pple on dis platform supportin moses can u tell me hw homos activities afect ur daily lyf? i cnt believ dis moses guy is evn a lawyer. such a shame
Rights rights rights. Very soon people will be saying it is their right to eat anything they feel like eating so they can eat human flesh.Folks let's be wise and stop this nonsensical behaviour.The internet is not helping matters either.Most young people acquire these habits.and to those thinking that by referring to the good lawyer as an albino they are denigrating him,broaden your horizons ,read be wise and may the good Lord have mercy on your retarded selves.
If as a human you believe that there is creator called Jehovah God or Allah who created everything including me and you and the universe and all that there is,then I believe his commandments and decrees must be supreme in all things we do.Read ISAIAH 48:18 if you believe in GOD.I end my case.
God should have mercy on us
Mull over this: if A and B are gays, how does it affect C ? Instead of challenging to things that adversely affect all, like sakawa, for which Ghanaians are prevented from opening paypal accounts, we are here doing. The Ofiri guy should appreciate that, until recently, for lack of knowledge or sheer ignorance, albinos were regarded as aliens and used for rituals in Ghana. A practice which is still done in East Africa. In the same vein, if you are begin to understand the genetic basis of gayism and lebinanims which I detest in strong terms, much more I might have been if I were an albino, we can appreciate the difficulties those guys go through. If it is true or found out later that, it is a defect in their genomic architecture, how then do we plan them and not blame albinos ?
not everyone cares about the creator or what any so called "good" book says
