Former Member of Parliament(MP) for Kubungu has indicated that the Member of Parliament for Madina Constituency Francis Xavier Sosu is being foolishly courageous with his utterances with regards to LGBTQI+ activities in the country.
According to him, Francis Xavier Sosu should bear in his mind that he is representing the people of Madina and not himself in Parliament indicating that majority of the people he represents are against LGBTQI+ which he seeks to defend.
Ras Mubarak expressed shock that the Member of Parliament is not putting his constituents first indicating that his is a lost cause.
His post read “The Madina MP is courageous but foolishly courageous. He’s in Parliament representing the people of Madina. If he’s minded, the majority of the people he represents are very opposed to the things he seeks to defend. He is a lost cause and quite sad he’s not putting his constituents first. And for the record, I had called Sosu on Friday and Saturday to see if what had been attributed to him in the last 3days is true, but got no response”.
Member of Parliament for Madina Constituency and Human Rights Lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu has said that the view expressed by the Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Bagbin on the bill to criminalize Lesbianism, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer activities in Ghana is not representative of Parliament’s views.
To him, regardless of the speaker’s position on the bill to criminalize LGBTQI+ activities in the country, he does not pass laws but rather depend on the representation in Parliament indicating that the bill will be scrutinized by lawmakers.
