President Akufo-Addo clarified in a message to the diplomatic community on Monday, March 4, that the anti-LGBTQI bill has not yet reached his office.

Despite concerns within certain diplomatic circles, the president assured that the recent bipartisan approval of the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill by Parliament will not compromise the country's commendable human rights record.

Addressing anxieties about a potential shift in Ghana's stance on human rights and the rule of law, President Akufo-Addo emphasized that he would not entertain any regression in these principles.

While refraining from delving into the bill's origin, which is pending on his desk, he acknowledged that a concerned citizen has filed a constitutional challenge at the Supreme Court regarding the proposed legislation.

The president urged patience, suggesting that everyone await the court's decision before taking any action.

He underscored the pivotal role of Ghanaian state institutions in shaping the future trajectory of rule of law and human rights compliance in the country.
