    mr president we did not votted for this disgrace.

  • Asani Tano 11 years ago

    In the first place, if you did not vote for such feable and corrupt leaders, we would not have been sitting here wasting our time on such abominable issue.

  • william 11 years ago

    I agree with you, what utter nonsense from this 'aspiring politician.These days so many are seeking cheap attention in our thriving democracy!

  • C.Y. ANDY-K 11 years ago

    Indeed, it is utter crap and shouldn't be coming from a CPP activist.

    Andy- K, I don't think you understand ernesto. That's why he is calling for a vote, he has not expressed his opinions on the issue of gays other than what he believes the people would decide.

    I get the feeling that Kofi does not understand the word referendum. I feel you should have been civil enough in passing this comment. Shame on you!

    HOW CAN A MAN BEND DOWN FOR ANOTHER MAN TO FUCK HIM OR WOMAN SUCKING ANOTHER,WHERE WOULD WE BE IF OUR PARENTS ENGAGED IN THIS SELFISH ACT,BRING ON THE REFRENDUM.

  • IBRAHIM SADICK, EJISU-ASH 11 years ago

    LET US REVISIT THE STORY OF SODOM AND GOMORAH IF WE GHANAIANS DON'T KNOW.THE LEGALITY OF HOMOSEXUALISM AND LESBIANISM IS ABSOLUTELY NONSENSE. WE SHOULDN'T ENTERTAIN THESE DEMONIC ACTS.

  • Natan London 11 years ago

    I think this young man is smart more than many of our MP's. I support this call and wish all young guys home will think like him.

  • Julor Agyekum Kwakwe JAK 11 years ago

    Nana Oye Lithur is not gay activist, she is human rights lawyer whose work protects the human rights of the minority voiceless including your kortibortor father and your prostitute mother.

  • Paul 11 years ago

    This is exactly what we need. There are many of us who cannot even express our views because are afraid we would be discriminated against. But on the ballot paper, no body knows who i will vote for.

  • atsweitse 11 years ago

    homosexuals are human beings just like u created in the likeness(character) and image of god. leave them alone and let them enjoy their life anyhow they want to.

  • Asani Tano 11 years ago

    We are not Europeans nor Americans... Even within Africa, we are Ghanaians and our cultural values does not entertain gays and lesbians. It is in this direction that the NDC members themselves are against this appointment.

  • Dansu 11 years ago

    Ghana electoral system is filled with fraud. There is no integrity!What referendum?

  • Prosper 11 years ago

    Referendum on human right issue is nonsense. The problem is that the majority wants to impose its values on the minority.That is what the UN Convention seeks to address. How can a jury of Hawks give justice to chicken?

  • Sandra 11 years ago

    You have no idea the number of gays we have in Ghana, I can tell you that a referendum would make it clearer that ghana is gay! Again, Prosper, on a matter like this, why should we sit down and allow one or two or three bribe ...

    Pelicles, you are missing the point, Mahama took $20000 from the gay activist, Solomon, in the form of a book purchase to camouflage it, and so had to stick to his part of the deal by putting Oye in his cabinet, knowing her s ...

  • Pelicles 11 years ago

    Ghanaians need to embark on a massive demonstration if possible, to topple this reckless and irresponsible government.

    But can we do that as we are more concerned about our stomach than what ails the nation.
