We're in election year. The NPP can't risk arresting a criminal wulomo and losing Nungua votes. If BBC hadn't carried the story nobody would have even lifted a finger.

This is indeed Ghana Justice. We select who to prosecute based on the political implications for the government.

I EXPECT JOHN MAHAMA AND ALAN BAGBIN TO ISSUE STATEMENTS ON THE ISSUE! THESE TWO ARE NECKS DEEP IN THE ACTS!
SAM TOAD GEORGE SHOULD STOP HIS STUPIDITY!

I’m not PRO-LGBTQ+, and would never be. The fact is that the NDC proposed that law as a political tool to hoodwink Ghanaians by implying that NPP is a pro gay lesbian party. Meanwhile non of the NPP leaders is ever caught in a gay lesbian relationship like John Mahama, the current leader and the flag bearer of the NDC party.

What about the second most highest ranking member of the NDC party? I’m talking about the Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament , Mr Alan Bagbin, was he not also implicated for sleeping with a 17 year old girl who happens to be his wife’s sister? Though he claims that the girl was 17 years old at the time; and so he couldn’t be cited for crime since the age of 16 years is considered legal in the Ghanaian constitution, but was the case investigated? Was it ascertained that the relationship started after the Girl turned 17? Even if that relationship was consensual it still falls under the sexual exploitation clause, isn’t it?

Now what’s the difference between a whole MP breaking the law by sleeping with a girl who was under his care and the current issue under discussion? Why is Sam George quick to accuse the NPP as PRO LGBTQ+ whiles two of the most leading figures in his party have been caught red handed in the Acts? This is hypocrisy in the highest crescendo! I SHALL RETURN!

What nonsense are you writing. That bill was passed unanimously by both sides of the house. How can there be a political agenda by the minority endorsed by both sides of the house?

The culture should have been modified like how we have changed things in Kumasi.

We do not chop off heads to see off an Asantehene anymore, well not in public and courage like we used to do.

Arrest the disgusting, old paedophile instead. The poor girl and her mother have not committed any crime. It’s the filthy, old hag who has, and who must be placed in police custody immediately. Jackasses!

Should the minor attain 18 before any sex yet you're too weakend sleeping with your grand grand daughter. I initially admired Ga's but this has made me lose admiration for them.

A Stool Wife. Who is criticizing the Ga Traditional Culture. Though she's married to the Wulomor, he got nothing to do with the Customary Wife. The girl is just A Symbol of that Stool. And nothing more.
