DR. LAWRENCE TETTEH TO MARCH TO JUBILEE HOUSE OVER AKUFO ADDO’S REFUSAL TO ASSENT TO ANTI-LGBTQ+BILL

Founder and President of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach, Dr. Lawrence Tetteh has criticized other clergymen for remaining silent in response to the anti-LGBTQ+ measure that was approved in February of this year,

Dr. Tetteh thinks President Akufo-Addo shouldn’t have been hesitant to sign the bill into law, even though it has since ended up in the Supreme Court due to two private people filing separate suits to declare the bill’s passage by Parliament illegal, which the president uses as a justification for failing to entertain and assent to it.

According to myjoyonline.com, Dr. Tetteh is threatening to march to the capital if the president does not sign it if the Supreme Court upholds the bill’s passage.

“I’ll march to the Jubilee House. I think it’s about time we make politicians know we voted them into power. The cowardice that Christian leaders and religious leaders have been reduced to is a shame and I’m embarrassed by some of our clergymen.

“As much as we are interested in our titles, in the big titles, and who we are and how long we’ve served, I’m yet to hear certain people speak against these manners. And for me, that is a shame. And so it starts from my home too.

“It starts from the clergymen. It starts from the religious clerics. It starts from the home of the Chief Iman. It starts from the Chairman of Christian Council. It starts from the Apostolic leaders. It starts from Apostolic fathers. It also starts from the Catholics, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Anglicans. But also beyond that, it starts from the charismatic leaders.

“We’ve been too quiet. And as much as we are grumbling, everybody wants to impress certain people and that nonsense, for me, must stop,” he stressed.

The clergyman is one more in a long line of religious figures and organizations putting pressure on the president to enact the legislation.

But the presidency in a letter to the Clerk to Parliament on March 18, 2024, indicated that President Akufo-Addo would refrain from giving his assent, attributing his decision to pending court cases against the bill.
