Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, has lauded the minister-designate for finance, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam for taking a bold stance amidst what he perceives as an intimidation from CNN journalist, Richard Quest.
During a recent interview, the CNN journalist inquired about Mr Amin’s thoughts on the anti-LGBT+ Bill passed by Parliament.
In response, the minister-designate stated it is not in his place to instruct or meddle in the judgement of the Supreme Court while there’s an injunction on the Bill.
He asserted his commitment to abiding by the laws of the country, stating that if the Supreme Court rules on the case and the president assents to it, he will comply.
“The most important thing is to discuss the effects of the law when passed… Having said that, it is not for me to give the determination to the Supreme Court of our country.
“Let me state my point clearly again, there is a case before the Supreme Court and I am not going to prejudice the determination of the Supreme Court,” he said.

I must commend Hon. Amin Adam for keeping his cool and maintaining his stance on him being subject to the laws of Ghana. As for the very gay @richardquest, it is unsurprising his emotional tantrums. Would he dare such uncouth behaviour with any of the Arab Sheikhs he interviews? https://t.co/o7e71Azc6z

However, taking to the X platform, Sam George expressed administration for the minister-designate, highlighting his intelligence in handling the situation.

@richardquest, it is unsurprising his emotional tantrums. Would he dare such uncouth behaviour with any of the Arab Sheikhs he interviews?,” he wrote.
According to him, Richard Quest would not dare to employ his “uncouth behaviour on any of the Arab Sheikhs he interviews”.
The anti-LGBT+ Bill was passed by Parliament in February, but President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has deferred his decision on signing it until the Bill’s constitutionality is determined by the Supreme Court.
Currently, two cases challenging the Bill’s constitutionality have been filed in the Supreme Court.
