In this video, a Ghanaian parliament member, Sam George condemned the recent call by the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, for the West African country to respect the sexual rights of the LGBTQ community.

George suggested that the US should concentrate on its own pressing rights issues regarding gun violence and citizens’ lives. He also tagged as hypocrisy the US’s failure to make similar calls with its other economic allies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, while being bent on campaigning for the LGBTQ movement in Africa.

Harris recently concluded an African tour where she visited Ghana, Zambia, and Tanzania.

Several African countries have strong legislation against persons who identify with the LGBTQ movement.
