As a leader, if he is still in a leadership position and the coalition is strong enough for a change he is amenable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Tamale Central legislator said, \u201cany politician who is looking at the political fall out or dynamics in the country will use political statistics in answering such a question and that is what he did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Deputy Attorney General, Joseph Dindionck Kpemka, said the President never said anywhere that homosexuality is going to be legalized in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>He said what the president said was taken out of context by some people for propaganda reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining the \u201cbound to happen\u201d comment by the President, he gave an example of life in the village where some lifestyles like haircuts, dressing and language use are unacceptable but has given way to modernity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the way we have evolved over time and now living in a global village and a committee of nations and as a result, it is imperative that along the line certain things that have been considered as grievous, unpardonable and unacceptable in this society with changes in orientation may become acceptable eventually,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has not said anywhere that during his turn homosexuality is going to be legalized\u2026the President said we should look at the difference between principles and reality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FGhanaHomePage%2Fvideos%2F1721002817977109%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f14rr5Oa3dI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: -1 updated by: 45 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Saturday, 2 December 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-12-02 play videoInusah Fuseini A former Lands Minister says President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo \u201cmiscommunicated&#8221; as a politician in his homosexuality comment on Qatar-based Al Jazeera.
