CNN journalist Richard Quest and Finance Minister of Ghana are seen in an interview in what seems like a confrontation as the CNN journalist angrily demands answers from Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, regarding the anti-LGBTQ bill passed by Parliament.
Quest, known for his direct interviewing style, raised his voice at the minister, demanding a more human perspective on the matter. The encounter took place after Hon. Amin Adam expressed his willingness to adhere to the laws of his country.
Quest’s questioning centered on the minister’s views about the controversial legislation, seeking a personal stance rather than a political one. Quest’s insistence on a ‘human answer’ highlights the international scrutiny surrounding Ghana’s stance on LGBTQ rights. The heated exchange reflects the ongoing debate over human rights and equality, as well as the international community’s interest in the implications of the new bill.

This moment underscores the tension between national sovereignty and global perspectives on human rights issues. While the Finance Minister remained committed to upholding the laws of his country, Quest’s approach illustrates the broader dialogue on the subject.
The clash between the journalist and the minister however took a friendly turn when they shook hands as they parted ways. Ghanaians have opined that this is just a minute part of the pressure that is expected to be mounted on Ghana to jettison the bill.
