Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South, says that proponents of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill have reintroduced the Anti-gay bill for the consideration of Parliament.
The bill, which is to halt LGBT activities and criminalize such practice, was passed by the 8th Parliament but was not approved by the previous President Akufo-Addo’s administration.
During an interview with Citi News on Thursday, February 27, Hon. Ntim Fordjour pleaded with President John Dramani Mahama to approve the bill once it is reintroduced by the current Parliament.
He said, “Myself, Sam George, Hon Bedzrah, Hon Alhassan Tampuli, Hon Abdul Kabiru, Hon Ekow Vincent, have reintroduced it and so it is to support the speedy passage of the bill so that he can assent to it. It has been admitted. It has been received and so the processes are going to be set in motion. But it is the same bill so it is not expected that it is going to delay at all. The chiefs, our imams, our clergymen, and the coalition who supported us are still supporting us strongly. The speaker is in support and therefore it is expected that it will be passed quickly,”
