A Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho considers President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s response on homosexuality as a subtle move to welcome wealthy gays into the country for a purpose.
Koku, who believe gays are “influential” and “rich” people, will help the president fund "his free SHS policy which is already in danger”.
“The President is desperate; he is looking for money to fulfill his promises...His one million dollars per constituency, his free SHS education, and one-district one-factory among others. Now the President is prepared to wine and dine with anybody at all to make money,” he emphatically stated in an interview on Neat FM’s, morning show dubbed ‘Ghana Montie’.
Koku’s comment follows what some Ghanaians believe is a clear indication from President Akufo-Addo that the country's position on homosexuality could change if there is strong advocacy.
Speaking to Aljazeera’s Jane Dutton, the president said the country's culture and tradition for now does not allow the legalization of homosexuality, but was quick to add that if public opinion changes, the law may just be amended.
“This is a social, cultural issue, I don’t believe that in Ghana so far, a sufficiently strong coalition has emerged which is having that impact on public opinion that will say ‘change it, let’s now have a new paradigm in Ghana.’
“At the moment, I don’t feel, I don’t see that in Ghana there is that strong current of opinion that is saying this is something we need to deal with. It is not so far a matter that is on the agenda,” Nana Addo added.
But the NDC deputy Chief Scribe said the president’s response, which was quite deliberate, shows his administration is cash-strapped.
“There’s no money to fulfill their promises so they have to fashion out other means to get the money to undertake what they have earlier assured the people of Ghana. The president doesn’t care anymore where the money will come from,” he told the host, Kwasi Aboagye.

You are just like Koku, no wonder of all the 30 comments below urs is the odd one since u lack reading understanding. Sit on ur flat butts and listen well to what the president said. Whiles listening, make sure u get one of the free SHS students to be explaining to u since thats what u lack most cos the president never said he will legalize it.
I sometimes blame these talk show hosts, you know Koku would definitely talk trash but they still invite him to do same. How many times have you heard Kwami Sefa Kai inviting such people like Koku Anyidoho to discuss sensitive issues with? KSM knows a guy like Koku would muddy the waters on sensible issues and spoil his KSM hard won reputation. Kwami will continue to receive awards because he discusses issues with people who speak sense, not Koku Anyidoho who would twist the truth and hope unintelligent people would buy into his wicked ideas.
my friend don't you think it's better doing something about your weight than forcing lies all the time. YOU ARE OVER WEIGHT OOH !!! K Anyidoho
NDC members does not read and if they read they don't understand. I have listened to the President and there is nowhere in his interview that confirmed this ***barred word*** boy allegation. READ OOOOOOOOOOO NDC READ and dissect his interview.
This guy depicts why age is never equivalent to maturity. Why does he delight in spewing garbage all the time? He probably doesn't know he is spewing garbage.
Who is desperate here? Koku or Nana Addo? Koku is so desperate he spews r.u.b.b.i.s.h
As for NDC if they do not want to read can't they listen also very well too
THE NDC WILL NEVER LEARN! THERE IS NOT A SINGLE SENS*IBLE CHARACTER IN THAT PARTY. FOREVER 1DIOTS!
WOW,HOW RIGHT I AM. I WAS EXPECTING THIS FROM THIS WINDBAG. YAMIN,KOFI ADAMS, KWAKYE-OFOSU, SUHIYINI AND THE R-E-N-E-G-A-D-E-S PARADING AS A POLITICAL PARTY, HAVE ALL JUMPED ON THE "TIWUII" BANDWAGON EXPOSING THEIR CRASS IGNORANCE AND THEIR SHALLOW AND INFANTILE ARGUMENTS. THE SURPRISE WOULD HAVE BEEN THEM SAYING ANYTHING SEN*IB-LE.
