Prophet Kofi Oduro, founder of Alabaster International Ministry, has openly criticized the government for its perceived inaction regarding growing moral decline in Ghana, expressing particular outrage over a recent LGBTQ+ incident.
Speaking during his Sunday sermon on June 30, 2025, Prophet Oduro condemned the government’s silence after two gay men were seen kissing and taking photos at Independence Square in Accra.
The act, which has triggered public uproar, was cited by the preacher as a symbol of the country’s deteriorating moral values.
Oduro questioned why, despite reports that the individuals involved have been identified, no action has been taken.
“This is unacceptable,” he said. “If a Ghanaian tried this in South Africa, they wouldn’t get away with it.” He urged security forces and government leaders to act swiftly to halt what he called a rising trend of immorality and disrespect for national values.
The controversy intensified when Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD), the Director of Diasporan Affairs at the Presidency, reportedly shared a post about the incident on social media—raising concerns about how it may be interpreted by the diaspora and LGBTQ+ communities.
Many Ghanaians, echoing Prophet Oduro’s stance, fear the government’s muted response could be seen as quiet endorsement—especially with the anti-LGBTQ+ bill still awaiting presidential approval.
The incident has reignited debates on morality, law enforcement, and national identity, with increasing calls for government to uphold and protect Ghana’s cultural and ethical foundations.
