Controversial Ghanaian musician Emmanuel Owusu-Bonsu, better known as Wanlov da Kubolor, has taken a critical stance on the recently passed LGBT+ bill, alleging that it serves as a strategic move by the Ghana Church of Pentecost rather than a genuine effort to address social concerns.
According to Wanlov da Kubolor, the bill is merely a pretext for unjust arrests, intended to fill the newly constructed large prisons in the country.
He asserts that the Ghana Church of Pentecost stands to benefit financially from this arrangement, as the occupancy of these prisons would not only secure government funding for their operation but also provide an opportunity for exploitation through forced labor.
The musician argues that the primary motive behind the passage of the bill is profit-driven, with the church aiming to capitalize on the incarceration of individuals from the LGBT+ community.
By framing the bill as a strategic business decision rather than a moral or ethical imperative, Wanlov da Kubolor highlights the potential exploitation and systemic injustices perpetuated by such legislation.
“It’s clear to me that they need inmates to fill those large prisons, not for justice, but for profit. They want to arrest LGTQ+ members for business purposes,” Wanlov asserted.
Wanlov da Kubolor, renowned for his outspoken views on social and political matters, posits that the bill serves the purpose of supplying a consistent influx of individuals to occupy the recently constructed prisons, ultimately benefiting the Ghana Church of Pentecost financially.
This controversial legislation, which criminalizes activities associated with the LGBTQ+ community, has ignited widespread debate and provoked protests both domestically and internationally.
Human rights activists have decried the bill as a violation of fundamental human rights, while its proponents argue that it is in line with the country’s cultural and religious values.
The assertions made by Wanlov da Kubolor introduce another dimension of controversy to the already contentious issue, prompting inquiries into the motives behind the bill’s passage and its potential impact on the lives of those targeted by the legislation.
As of now, the Ghana Church of Pentecost has not issued a response to these specific allegations put forth by the musician.
