Rev. Emmanuel Kwadwo Kusi, Founder and Leader of Life of Christ Power Ministry International in Ejisu-Manhyia, Ashanti Region, has urged Parliament to initiate an impeachment process against President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo if he does not sign the Anti-LGBTQ bill.
In an interview with Boss FM, Rev. Emmanuel Kusi expressed his displeasure with the President’s decision to delay the bill’s assent.
He suggested that the president’s reluctance to address the bill directly is an attempt to avoid accountability.
His statement comes after the Supreme Court denied an application by South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor to challenge the approval of new ministerial and deputy ministerial nominees.
In a unanimous decision, a five-member panel of the court held that the application was frivolous and an abuse of the court process.
The applicant, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, had sought to halt the vetting process in Parliament pending the determination of his suit challenging the constitutionality of the President’s decision to reassign Ministers without Parliament’s involvement.
However, the Supreme Court ruled that the MP’s case had no direct relevance to the nominees currently before Parliament, as it primarily concerns reassigned Ministers.
The Minority in Parliament already vowed to initiate impeachment processes against President Akufo-Addo for his refusal to sign the anti-gay bill.
Minority Leader Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson said the recent directive by the Secretary to the President asking the clerk of Parliament to desist from transmitting the anti-LGBTQ bill to the Jubilee House is uncalled for and unacceptable.
In response, Rev. Emmanuel Kwadwo Kusi went on to say that President Akufo-Addo should be impeached by Parliament to serve as a deterrent in Ghanaian politics.
