“Genocide results in the extermination of the human race and if you expand the meaning of homosexuality to mean that a man cannot have a child with another man then it means that that practice would lead to the extermination of mankind and therefore for me if I am to charge anybody apart from having unnatural carnal knowledge, I would also charge him with genocide and see how he can get out of that situation,” Yalley told reporters on Wednesday.
“If you are a man and you are having carnal knowledge with a man how are you going to have a child?,” Yalley posited.
Citi FM online, a Ghana news site reports:
Sam Pee Yalley made this proposal on Citi Eyewitness News on Wednesday August 31 when he was contributing to the debate on Ghana’s stance on homosexuality which the Attorney General Martin Amidu has said is not illegal.
The Attorney General’s comments sort to clarify Ghana’s position on the much talked about issue of homosexuality where he asserted that homosexual acts between two consenting adults, per Ghana’s laws, is not illegal so far as it is confined to the privacy of the partners’ bedroom.
These comments drew sharp condemnation from the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Martey who described them as “illogical and unfortunate.”
Care 2 adds,
Ghana has a population of about 24 million, the national language is English, and Christianity and Islam are the two major religions.This follows international outrage after a Ghanaian official recently called for the immediate arrest of all gays and lesbians in the nation’s Western Region.The Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) also recently announced that it would be stepping up promotion of reparative therapy due to so-called concerns over the spread of homosexuality in the country.Last weekend saw Ghana’s President John Evans Atta Mills use a speech at a festival in Saltpond to urge the public to fight moral vices. He put “homosexuality and lesbianism” alongside child prostitution and drug abuse on the list of vices to be resisted.
