Chairman of the Constitutional, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, has disclosed that some pastors are actively lobbying against the passage of the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill, currently under consideration.

In an interview on NEAT FM’s morning show, 'Ghana Montie,' on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, Anyimadu-Antwi revealed that religious leaders presented a report outlining reasons opposing the controversial bill.

“Most pastors also came to say that this law is good and should be passed. So it is both for and against. But the committee has resolved that we will pass the bill,” stated the Asante Akyem Central MP during the interview with Mac Jerry Osei-Agyemeng.

The Anti-LGBTQ+ bill has sparked significant controversy, with divergent opinions on its merits and implications. Despite the opposing views, Anyimadu-Antwi assured that the bill "will be passed very soon."

The revelation of pastors engaging in efforts to sway the decision adds a new layer of complexity to the ongoing discourse surrounding the legislation.
