Former Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States, Ekwow Spio-Gabrah has called on the government to put measures in place to avoid abuse of the Ghana-US Military agreement to promote homosexuality.

According to Spio-Gabrah in as much as Gay and Lesbians are recognized in the US, Ghana must be mindful homosexual soldiers are not brought into the country because our society frowns on homosexuality.

In an interview with Accra based radio station 3FM, Dr. Spio-Garbrah pushed for the insertion of a clause in the military cooperation agreement with the US that would protect the national interest against “gayism and lesbianism”.

“If the United States chooses to send 200 homosexual military personnel to Ghana, and since in their country open homosexuality is supposedly acceptable, men kissing men, women kissing women in public, is that something you think Ghanaians would want to see in Ghana?”

Spio-Gabrah added that, “So if you have reason to believe that the other party who is entering into that negotiation with you has a different cultural practice from yours, and this agreement, rightly or wrongly, could be used as a conduit, for the wrong kind of personnel to come here, you can say that, well, you can admit US personnel except those who have this particular problem. Or if such people come in and practice what they believe in which we don’t believe in, then this is the cause of action that can be taken, including deportation.”
