Minister of Information, Mustapha Hamid says President Nana Akufo-Addo will not legalize homosexuality under his tenure as Head of State.
According to him, the discourse about homosexuality is not on the agenda of the government and so asked Ghanaians not to be worried about the President's stance on the issue.
President Akufo-Addo in an interview with host Jane Dutton on Al Jazeera's "Talk To Al Jazeera" on Sunday implied that homosexuality is still illegal in Ghana because there are not enough activists pushing for its legalization.
According to him, there can only be a strong coalition to reform the nation's cultural setting and laws in support of homosexuality.
The President however gave the impression that a strong coalition may emerge in the future to eventually push for a change in the law.
He has since come under a barrage of criticisms for his comments.
Whiles some critics are calling on him to make his stance clear, others insist the President should emphatically declare he and his government will not support homosexuality.
But speaking in an interview with host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" on Monday, the Information Minister noted that the President's response on Al Jazeera was apt.
To him, he was reflecting the laws of the country and cannot impose his personal views on the Ghanaian populace.
On the issue of whether pressure from lobbyists could result in a change of law on homosexuality in Ghana, Hon. Hamid said it could possibly happen in "100 years" to come.
However, he said, "there is no way it will be legalized now or in the eight (8) year rule of President Akufo-Addo."

what is this moron northern albino saying? 100 years time? to be legalised by who? your albino ghost?.because of money and satanic politics,you have reduce the standard of morality to zero but remember that,all these depreciable material things you are using lucifer's weapons such as:lies,juju and corruption to acquire will all go down with you when you are put in your grave. ***barred word*** ***barred word*** president and his gyimiii albino minister.
Ananse will always remain ananse. We don't stay on their land and so they cannot force us to legalize the practice on our land. It takes only a weak leader to talk they way you and your president and your minister are talking. Even dogs, cats, goats, monkeys and lizards have brains than you.
Mustapha did not think well before speaking. He forgot that he is a moslem. As for the President we will advice that he tell those who want to practice gay-ism should go to the places where gay-ism is practiced because Ghanaians are not gays. So he can send his children and children's children to other countries where gay-ism is accepted. What we want in Ghana is food, water, electricity, education and health.
Mr. Minister is this what you want for your grand children? This is the legacy you want to leave that this country should work towards legalization of gay-ism in 100 yrs to come.
Can the UK or USA tell china to accept or legalize gay? definitely not. as long as we depend on them for our existence they will always impose their will on us and whether we like it or yes we will in the not so distant future embrace this satanic act.
u talk all
JATO DAMAGE CONTROL, THE PRESIDENT IS NOT SMART
The White man is not wise enough for us to follow. The whiteman is sooo stiwwpid he doesn't see anything wrong with 2 men marrying reach other. White people are sooooo stiwwwpid they don't even understand that there are seasons in life, the white farmer for instance believes that all year planting of crops is a sensible thing to engage in. Even little kids in our villages know that there is time for planting and time for the land to replenish. These guys are not wise enough for black people to follow.
They started subtly with tolerance, then it became accepted, the it was imitated by all. This is the trick to perversion by Satan and his agents running the world today. If you are a true christian, pray and resist any trace of this evil behaviour.
This is the New World Order.
