A group calling itself as the Concerned Clergy
Association of Ghana has opposed the appointment of Nana Oye Lithur as
Minister designate for Gender, Children and Social Protection.
The group argues that Nana Oye Lithur’s stance as a
“proponent and supporter” of homosexuality could have adverse consequences on
the nation.
She is known to have defended the rights of
homosexuals who were vehemently attacked by some anonymous persons because of
their sexuality.
According to them, her support for gay rights could
be detrimental to the economy, taken into consideration the quest by some
foreign countries to coerce African countries into the acceptance of gay acts.
Nana Oye Lithur was last week mentioned among the
first list of ministerial appointments by President John Dramani Mahama.
Many believe her appointment as Minister designate
for Gender, Children and Social Protection could have stemmed from her role as
a human rights activist.
The group also took a swipe at the Executive
Secretary to the President, Dr. Raymond Atuguba, for failing to make any
recommendations to the Presidency when as Chairman of the Constitutional Review
Commission, to effect changes on the issue of homosexuality.
