Apologies: the word ‘Bill’ should follow ‘Bahati’ in para. 2, line 3 above.

Same in Uganda actually. And both human rights activists and the anti-gay brigade are receiving foreign cash, though the controversy over Bahati’s proposed ‘slaughter bill’ has probably led to a significant reduction in the amount of foreign cash the anti-gay brigade is receiving (and an increase in what human rights organizations are being given).
Some former African leaders (e.g. Kenneth Kaunda) are also calling for decriminalization, and even ‘gay marriage’, mainly on public health grounds.

‘Maazi NCO’ often gets rather dismissive of my comments when I get a little too ‘close to the bone’. He has dismissed things I’ve said before … things that have turned out to be not too wide of the mark. (Sometimes I do deliberately ‘fly kites’, as ‘Maazi NCO’s’ [often impetuous] responses to these often provide interesting insights into what is going on re. the Bahati Bill.)
‘Maazi NCO’ himself has in the past implied that, in his view, those who do their stuff in private should be left alone. Whether he was trying to pretend that the Bahati is not as savage and murderous as it actually is (and still is, even after Tashobya’s tinkering), or whether this actually reflects his own view is something he has not made clear when I’ve questioned him directly. He has tended, in response to my questions, to slither away into meaningless generalities about ‘gayism’ (whatever that is) …

What’s interesting is the calls for decriminalisation are coming from within Ghana by Ghanaians. This whole debate started because of an inaccurate newspaper report claiming 8000 homosexuals had been registered by an NGO! The anti-brigade started making a lot of noise and human rights activists in Ghana calmly responded. Foreigners are responding to the anti-brigade – the ones that are most reported in the press – and when they do, the antis say outsiders are trying to force homosexuality on the country. They continently “forget” that it is not outsiders but Ghanaians calling for a measured response to this issue. This pretence, that it is a “foreign” thing is disingenuous by those making the claim.

Though I am not in Ghana. Internet reports and conversations with friends inside Ghana suggest that condemnation of gayism is overwhelming with a sprinkling of pro-gay noise from NGOs most of whom are beholden to their western donors.

Why anyone would need cash to oppose a behaviour that is widely viewed as unAfrican, inhuman and insane is frankly beyond me. Only those who are working in concert with the gay imperialists of Europe and America to blackmail African nations to legalize gayism need lots of foreign cash infusions.

Some former African leaders (e.g. Kenneth Kaunda) are also calling for decriminalization, and even ‘gay marriage’, mainly on public health grounds.

Kenneth Kaunda is a flip-flopping clown. Nobody takes him seriously anymore.
