THE DISRESPECT OF OUR NATIONAL SYMBOLS IS DESPICABLE — Sam George Calls On Law Enforcement Authorities To Deal With South African Gay Couple

Law enforcement officials have been urged by Hon. Sam George to take swift action against Rue and Lue, two South African men, for snapping pictures of themselves kissing under Ghana’s famous Independence Arch.

The South African homosexual couple shot adorably romantic pictures at one of Ghana’s most recognizable national sites while wearing matched red attire. The images went viral.

Reacting to the trending issue, Sam George wrote;

“I have just returned to Accra from Ho in the Volta Region, where I attended the climax of our successful #GirlsInICT program.

I have seen numerous tags and posts about the abhorrent disrespect of our culture and values by two ‘useless’ individuals. The disrespect of our national symbols is despicable, to say the least.

However, I am shocked to see apologists of the NPP calling on me and demanding action. What a shameless lot! We are where we are today without a strict legislation on these ills because former President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo failed and blatantly refused to sign the Family Values Bill into law after Parliament of Ghana and the Courts had cleared the Bill.

You defended the immoral stance of President Akufo-Addo then and today you want to pontificate? How dare you!

I have along with my Colleagues in Parliament, re-submitted the Family Values Bill. It has gotten Mr. Speaker’s approval and should be laid for first reading any moment soon.

The values, morals and innocence of our children MUST be protected. I would demand that President John Dramani Mahama sign the Bill when we get it passed again. My position has NOT changed but I despite hypocrites.

Law enforcement must identify the two miscreants in the viral photos and apply the full rigours of existing laws on them.

For God and Country.”
