“Ghana Is A Failed State” – Sister Derby Reacts As Ghana’s Parliament Finally Passes Anti-LGBT Bill To Criminalise Act

On Wednesday, February 28, 2024, a bill against homosexuality was unanimously approved by Ghana's parliament.

“After three long years, we have finally passed the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Act,” said Sam George, one of the main sponsors of the bill on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Introduced in 2021, the bill criminalizes not only relationships between LGBTQ people but also individuals who advocate for LGBTQ rights.

The bill has been passed by the Ghanaian Parliament, but it still needs the president's assent to become law.

Already, there a lot of reactions to the passing of the bill, with many people expressing diverse opinions.

While some people believe it is right to criminalize the act, others, including the CDD, have publicly condemned the act.

Amid the reactions, Ghanaian singer, Sister Derby who is known on record to be a vocal spokesperson for the rights of LGBTQ people has also come out to lament and described Ghana as a failed state.

In a post as a reaction to a report that the South African police has arrested the people who murdered rapper AKA, Sister Derby stated that Ghana is yet to find the murderer of Ghanaian music exective, Fennec Okyere after so many years.

She added that instead of the leaders of the country trying to get the country to the level of South Africa, they are rather emulating a country like Uganda.

See her post on X below:

In Ghana, no police has been able to arrest Fedec's murderer or even suspects. Instead of emulating South Africa, we dey emulate Uganda. Ghana is a failed state especially w/ this new hate bill as the cherry on top. https://t.co/yMhVduyFGv
