Editor in Chief of the New Crusading Guide Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says the Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) is not a new thing to Ghanaians but some people are making it look like 'kaaka motobi' masquerade.

The veteran journalist believes that the CSE is not entirely new to Ghanaians as we have tenets of that in our old curriculum.

The introduction of the CSE has been met with fierce resistance from parents, civil societies and religious leaders insisting the introduction of the programme is not in line with the country's values and culture.

Kweku Baako speaking on Joy FM's NewsFile on October 5, 2019, said people are painting a different picture of what actually CSE entails, he believes there is so much this can do to improve sexual well-being of children if implemented the right way.

"Some people have transformed the CSE to a 'kaaka motobi', this is not an entirely new animal we are confronted with.

"Some people went on social media to paint a picture that 4 -5-year-old kids will be taught vagina and penis to be precise 'Etw3'(vagina) and Kote'(penis)... because twi is my language.

He also brushed aside claims that the CSE will teach pupils to be homosexuals.

"Really I don't get the point. The kids are not being taught to become gays or lesbians."

"If someone is gay, it bothers on something. If there are many women around why should I go for my fellow man."

The Comprehensive Sexual Education programme is expected to equip pupils to know and experience their sexuality.

If the CSE is implemented, at age six, Primary one pupils will be introduced to values and societal norms and how to interact with the different sexes and groups.

CSE is seen by some Ghanaians as a subtle conditioning of pupils to explore lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) lifestyles which is alien to our culture and values.
