STATEMENT FROM THE GHANA CATHOLIC BISHOPS' CONFERENCE ON THE KARNIVAL KINGDOM FESTIVAL

The Ghana Catholic Bishops' Conference has taken note of the public nudity at the Karnival Kingdom Festival (22-28 April 2026), during which participants received police protection. The event was an eyesore, denigrated our values as a nation and breached the laws of our land (cf section 278 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960, Act 29).

1. The Demand for Investigation. We, Pastors of our Land, unequivocally condemn the act of public nudity and call for immediate investigation into the role of State Institutions, and the importation of foreign cultural practices. The presence of police protection for participants raises serious questions about official oversight. The Conference commends the Member of Parliament for Assin South, Honourable John Ntim Fordjour for his call in this direction.

2. Cultural Tension Requires Discernment. The event reflects a clash between globalised festival culture and Ghana's established legal standards. An imported event cannot claim exemption from Ghanaian law. Cultural exchange must respect the host nation's laws and values.

3. Governance Questions Are Serious. Who approved the permits and the deployment of police to protect participants engaged in public nudity? The Conference is deeply concerned that state agencies responsible for protecting public order may have facilitated rather than prevented this misconduct.

4. No Political Interference In Investigation. The Conference urges all parties to allow the investigative process to proceed without undue political pressure.

5. Recommendations. The Conference recommends a thorough impartial investigation with public findings; review of permitting processes with clear decency guidelines; an inquiry into why police protection was provided; and a national dialogue on limits of cultural expression in public spaces.

Conclusion. Provision of police protection for acts that breach the criminal code represents a serious failure of official duty. Enforcement of laws are urgently needed.
