Alhaji Mohammed Ababio Quaye, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Ayawaso Central Municipal Assembly, has resigned from his position due to poor health.
The MCE explained that the nature of his illness has prevented him from carrying out his duties as such, needing a necessary extended medical treatment as well as a period of rest and recuperation, in a letter dated July 2, 2023, addressed to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Alhaji Quaye asserted that it would be best for the municipality if someone else filled his position. He also said it had been an honor for him to work for the government and advance the Ayawaso Central Constituency.
In other news, Ursula Owusu Ekuful, the minister for communications, has urged Ghanaian women who are forced to engage in oral or anal sex with their partners to report them to the police.
She claimed that the unnatural carnal knowledge that the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021 seeks to outlaw also affects these women.
She claims that Act 29’s Section 99, which the anti-LGBTQ+ movement is criminalizing, is gender neutral.
“And so for the avoidance of doubt and for the information of Ghanaians oral sex, anal sex, regardless of whether it is between man and woman, man and man or woman and woman is illegal under our law,” she stated.
The call was made by Mrs. Ursula Owusu on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, following the second reading of the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021 in Parliament.
“And so if there is anybody who is practising oral sex or anal sex today, on a man or a woman, please note that what you’re doing is against the existing law of this country because it is unnatural.”
“I will urge any woman, any young girl, who is being subjected to any such practice under the guise of heterosexual sex to know that what she is being asked to do is against our law and to seek help from the police to stop that from happening,” she stated.
