Ghanaian vocal Queen Efya has uttered her dissatisfaction with Parliament for engaging in discussions about whether or not to ban sex toys in the country
The Communication Minister and Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, kicked against the expressed her opposition to the criminalization of sex toys in the Anti-LGBT Bill.
She argued that such a law would affect heterosexual couples who use sex toys to enhance their sex lives.
Clause 3(c) of the Bill prohibits sexual intercourse between a man and an inanimate object or between a woman and an inanimate object.
According to the minister, if the criminalization of sex toys is the intent of the house, then Parliament would have to be clear that the Bill is not just targeted at the LGBT community, but those who use sex to toy.
The member of parliament called for the instant deletion of the clause.
According to the vocal Queen the entire discussion of sex toys in Parliament, to Efya, is a common case of inappropriate priority.
‘‘How does any of this help with the inflation we are dealing with..!! It’s like we hate ourselves in this country..!! WHYYYYY !!!.”
The singer’s concerns reflect a wider worry about the allocation of parliamentary resources to non-essential topics when there are more important matters affecting the nation.
