Renowned musician Mr. Kwame Asare Obeng, widely known as A-plus, has expressed doubts about Ghana‘s ability to enact the anti-LGBTQ+ bill recently sanctioned by parliament.

He contends that until Ghana establishes robust domestic policies, the West will continue to wield influence and control over the nation.

“Akufo-Addo cannot assent to the bill due to Ghana’s dependence on foreign aid. Without financial support from the international community, Ghana struggles to achieve true independence,” asserted A-plus.

The musician’s statements highlight a broader concern about the influence of external forces on Ghana’s legislative decisions.

A-plus maintains that Western culture will continue to shape Ghana’s policies unless the country takes decisive steps toward self-sufficiency.

In conclusion, A-plus delivered a stark prediction, stating, “Whether Ghana likes it or not, the anti-LGBTQ+ bill would not be passed. We are bound to accept Western culture as long as we remain dependent on foreign aid.”
