Founder and CEO of IMANI Africa Franklin Cudjoe has expressed concerns about the recent rift between President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin over the anti-gay bill.<\/p>\n

The President in a recent letter to Parliament requested them to desist from transmitting the anti-LGBTQ+ bill for his assent, citing court issues. The Speaker retaliated by suspending the approval of new ministers.<\/p>\n

During an interview on The Big Issue<\/strong> on Citi TV<\/strong>, Mr Cudjoe expressed fear that the impasse between the executive and the legislature could adversely impact the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are economically saddled, if we don\u2019t talk about gay issues won\u2019t we eat? My only worry is that the impasse could have certain tolls on the economy and the governance process. But indeed, we should learn and be wiser out of this particular care, if we manage to get through to it,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n

He emphasized the need for the government to ensure that the impact of the impasse on citizens is mitigated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe economy, the impacts on individual rights and indeed anything that we thought may be impacted by this particular anti-gay bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we heard that the finance minister wrote a letter to the President saying to stay your hands because this may have implications economically, I worried, because I asked myself what were the considerations.\u201d<\/p>\n
