Charismatic Churches Vow to vote Out NPP

The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), has warned that it will rally its members to vote out the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration for adopting a “satanic” sexuality curriculum for basic school kids.

The Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) guidelines and manual for Ghana developed mostly by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has been flagged as a subtle agenda by the powerful Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) lobby groups.

The President of the (GPCC), Rev Prof Paul Yaw Frimpong-Manso sent out this warning when interviewed today September 30, 2019, on Accra-based Joy FM.

The GPCC has over 200 member churches and organisations with several millions of members. A threat from this group may prove significant. 

“If it is this government that is promoting it [the CSE], we will first resist it…I call it a comprehensive satanic engagement,” Rev. Frimpong-Manso stated, adding, “It is a satanic and demonic agenda” to “destroy our children”.

From last week Thursday, the Akufo Addo administration has been reeling after Moses Foh-Amoaning the Spokesperson for the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values (CPRFV) warned that the guideline is a clear LGBT agenda.

He noted that apart from the sexually explicit content of the curriculum, the manual itself is branded in the LGBT colours-the rainbow colours.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has argued that the modules in the curriculum would be age-specific, even though critics have questioned the rationale of introducing sex education at that young age, saying it is an attack on healthy family life and an attack on African family values.

A statement released by the GES this afternoon, described as wild speculations the link of the CSE to the LGBT agenda.

“The GES wishes to assure the general public that no special sessions have been organised or will ever be organised by the GES to train students as advocates for sexual rights, let alone LGBT rights which are culturally, socially, legally, morally and religiously alien to Ghana,” Cassandra Twum Ampofo, the Head of Public Relations for the GES wrote.

She explained that there are still some loopholes in the CSE that is being reviewed.

This explanation however raises further suspicions, as the CSE had already been launched by the education ministry since May 2017.
