Owusu-Bempah Sparks Debate, Shifts LGBTQ Accountability to Parliamentary Committee
Founder and leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has stirred public discussion following comments suggesting that responsibility for LGBTQ-related matters in Ghana should rest with lawmakers rather than individuals.
In his recent remarks, the outspoken cleric indicated that if blame is to be assigned in the ongoing debate, it should be directed at the parliamentary committee handling such issues, rather than targeting individuals.
His statement shifts attention to the role of the Parliament of Ghana, particularly committees involved in shaping policies and legislation on LGBTQ rights and related national concerns.
The comments come at a time when Ghana continues to witness heightened debate over LGBTQ issues, with religious leaders, policymakers, and civil society groups expressing divergent views on rights, governance, and cultural values.
Observers say the remarks are likely to further fuel discussions on accountability, the role of state institutions, and how sensitive social issues are addressed within the country’s legal and political framework.
