The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Hon. Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has petitioned President John Dramani Mahama to publicly condemn what he describes as the desecration of Ghana’s sacred national monuments by homosexual activists.
In a letter dated Thursday, June 26, 2025, the MP expressed deep concern over circulating images of two South African men, identified as Rue and Lue, who allegedly took deliberate photographs at the Independence Square and the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum sites the MP described as sacred symbols of national pride and the sacrifices of Ghana’s forefathers.
“These spaces are sacred. They are not to be turned into platforms for promoting acts that are fundamentally alien to our cultural, moral, and religious values,” Assafuah stated.
He called the incident not just a social concern but a “moral affront” and a “spiritual insult” to the conscience of the nation, urging President Mahama to honour a previous promise to sign the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill into law.
Drawing comparisons to the urgency with which the “Dumsor Levy” was passed, the MP stressed that defending the moral integrity of Ghana deserved the same level of commitment. “We cannot sit by and watch our national symbols hijacked for an agenda that offends the conscience of this nation,” he emphasized.
Hon. Assafuah concluded by urging the President to act in the name of God and the nation to preserve Ghana’s cultural and spiritual identity, warning that “this moment is not political. It is spiritual.”
