The Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the Kwabre East Constituency, Mr. Jones Enyamesem, has criticized the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) for failing to keep its promise on the anti-LGBTQ bill.
Speaking on Orange Sunrise, he said the NDC, while in opposition, assured Ghanaians that it would pass the bill in the best interest of the nation. That promise, he noted, won the hearts of many voters and contributed to the party’s electoral victory.
Mr. Enyamesem expressed disappointment that after gaining power, the government appears to be “playing games” with the issue. He described the NDC’s current attitude as a betrayal of public trust and a clear sign of political inconsistency.
He stated, “The NDC wanted nothing but power, and they were thinking if they get the power, they will dilly-dally and see the four years pass without paying attention to the issue. They are not using the same energy they used while in opposition.”
He warned that the NDC has only three years left in office and may face the same punishment they dealt to the NPP if they continue to disappoint Ghanaians. According to him, the people are watching and will hold the government accountable at the polls.
Mr. Enyamesem further urged the NDC to apply the same level of pressure and energy they used when in opposition to push for the passage of the bill. He stressed that true leadership is measured by consistency, honesty, and the courage to fulfill promises made to the people.
He ended by calling on all political parties to uphold Ghana’s cultural and moral values, emphasizing that governance must reflect the will and principles of the citizens.
