Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, who is one of the sponsors of the anti-gay bill in Ghana's Parliament, has stated that Ghana will not be concerned by the action that the World Bank has taken against Uganda for passing the anti-gay bill into law. This statement was made by Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor.
According to the Member of Parliament for South Dayi, the World Bank cannot use pressure tactics to force African nations to embrace homosexuality as a legitimate practice.
On Thursday, August 10, he stated this during an interview that aired during the midday news on TV3: "Ghana is not disturbed by what is happening in Uganda." In any event, the World Bank is not a bank that belongs to just one set of people; rather, it is a bank that serves all of us.
If the World Bank intends to bully Africa into accepting LGBTQ people, I think they are making a mistake; they are taking on more than they can chew. Africa has 54 nations.

According to a statement issued by the lender and distributed by the Al Jazeera network, "Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act fundamentally contradicts the values of the World Bank Group."
We think that our strategy to end poverty on a planet that can support life will only be successful if it is inclusive of all people, regardless of their race, gender, or sexual orientation. These attempts are being undermined by the legislation. Our work all around the world is based on the principle that there should be no discrimination of any kind.
In addition to this, the lender has stated that it will enhance the number of grievance redress procedures and third-party monitoring in order to "allow us to take corrective action as necessary."
In May, the World Bank Group stated that the law did not align with the institution's core values and that it was "highly concerned" about the possibility of it being passed into law.
