The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin, is urging the Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee of parliament to expedite the process for the anti-LGBTQI bill to be passed.
He expresses concern over the ongoing delay, emphasizing that it is particularly troubling given that a majority of Ghanaians oppose such practices.
At present, Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, is leading a group of MPs advocating against activities related to lesbians and gays.
They have introduced a bill in parliament that, if passed, would criminalize all actions associated with same-sex practices, commonly referred to as LGBTQI+.
Despite the widespread opposition to LGBTQI+ activities in Ghana, there is a minority in support of the practice, arguing that it is a matter of human rights.
Speaker Alban Sumana Bagbin is urging the Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee to expedite their work so that the bill can be passed by the following week.
