Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Samuel Nartey George, has threatened to disclose the identities of his colleagues in the House who continually work to impede the passage of the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill (commonly known as the anti-LGBTQI bill).

He made the threat while addressing the press on Wednesday after the House failed to discuss the bill, which is currently in the consideration stage.

Sam George and other sponsors of the bill were dissatisfied that the majority caucus in the House did not allow the bill to be discussed during proceedings on that Wednesday. He accused the majority caucus of defying the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin's, order to take up the bill and address proposed corrections and amendments.

Sam George alleged that the majority caucus was employing various tactics to obstruct the bill's passage, aiming to discredit the Speaker of Parliament, who had pledged to pass the bill before the end of 2023.

"We need to understand from the Majority side what their issues with the bill are. We need to understand with those who take the chair when the speaker gives the instruction what their opposition to the bill is. We are very well aware of people in leadership on the Majority side who are reaching out to sponsors of the bill asking us to step down the bill," he said.

The MP claimed that the chairman of the Constitutional, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, Kwame Anyimadu Antwi, deliberately stayed absent, potentially as a pretext to prevent the bill from being addressed.

He therefore threatened to name and shame MPs who have allegedly been influenced by individuals who oppose the bill. According to Sam George, he has not yet done so due to a request by some co-sponsors of the bill.

"Those who have gone and gotten influenced by persons who have interest in the LGBTQ should return whatever influence they have collected because we will fight.

"And the next time we address the media, I will mention names. I have been pressed upon by my co-sponsors not to mention names. It is out of respect that I have not mentioned names but if they continue this behaviour of frustrating the bill… How can this bill spend almost 3 years," he said.

Already, Sam George has accused Ablekuma North MP, Sheila Bartels, of receiving funds from pro-LGBT individuals.

"After taking money from LGBTQ, and you say I shouldn’t mention her name as a pro-LGBTQ person? She went and sat on the media and said I had taken money from LGBTQ people. It took her father to come and apologize to me," he said.

Sam George has been vocal on calls for the immediate passing of the bill that seeks to criminalize and impose severe penalties on the practice and promotion of homosexuality.

In his fight against the LGBTQ community, Sam George has been accused by Ghanaian musician Wanlov the Kubolor of being sponsored by an American organization to advocate for anti-LGBTQ+ laws in Ghana.

The Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill was laid in the house on March 30, 2023, by the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee.
