The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revealed that they are monitoring events in Ghana following the passage of the anti-LGBTQ bill in country.
On Wednesday, March 28, 2024, Ghanaian parliamentarians unanimously passed the anti-LGBTQ bill.
While awaiting to be assented by the President of Ghana, the bill as it stands now, proscribes lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) activities and criminalises their promotion, advocacy, and funding.
Those caught in these acts would be subjected to a six-month to three-year jail term, with promoters and sponsors facing a three to five-year jail term.
On the heels of this, IMF in a statement issued and copied to Bloomberg said it remains committed to fostering values of diversity and inclusion.
“Diversity and inclusion are values that the IMF embraces.
“Our internal policies prohibit discrimination based on personal characteristics, including but not limited to gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation. Like institutions, diverse and inclusive economies flourish,” the IMF said in the statement.
