According to the musician, their activities paint a picture of desperation as they seem to impose their lifestyle on Ghanaians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018Abordam\u2019 hitmaker stated that members of the LGBTQ community can go about their usual activities without a \u201cpublic fanfare\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThis thing has been there when we were growing up.

The problem I have now is they are trying to impose it on us.<\/p><p>\u201cYou can be whoever you want to be, but be that in peace. It is your right to do it in peace. But if you bring it into our faces, I think that is not Ghanaian. Maybe my family member might be straight, but seeing what people are doing, they might go and try it\u201d.<\/p><cite>Kwaw Kese<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Kwaw Kese who was based abroad for a long time revealed that some of his friends abroad identify with the LGBTQ community. However, he has nothing against them since it\u2019s a lifestyle they have chosen. He iterated that such individuals should conduct their activities discreetly rather than imposing them on Ghanaians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.6chcdn.feednews.com\/assets\/v2\/93799e8574d2efdb84a906d0087b5d69?source=nlp&amp;quality=uhq&amp;format=jpeg&amp;resize=720\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Kwaw Kese, Ghanaian musician<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking on the anti-LGBTQI bill yet to be passed, Kwaw Kese said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe parliamentarians should not even waste time to be thinking about a bill to be passed.

However, the musician was on remand for over a month at the Kumasi Central Prison before being bailed on December 30, 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kwaw Kese sharing his thoughts on the issue revealed that some few years back, Shatta Wale and his fans ridiculed him for spending time in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kwaw Kese who believes that people cannot control how laws work, posited that the way Shatta Wale\u2019s shooting prank was handled is a lesson to anyone who goes against the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t something I was wishing it happens to any of my colleagues, but you know we don\u2019t have charge of the law.
