The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has given assurance that the bill concerning the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values will be passed before the parliamentary recess for the festive holidays.

This announcement follows accusations from the sponsors of the Anti-Gay bill, who claimed that the Majority in Parliament was obstructing the bill's passage.

The First Deputy Speaker had declined a request for the bill to proceed to the consideration stage, leading to allegations of deliberate delays by the Majority Caucus.

One of the bill's proponents, Samuel Nartey George, a Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, accused the Majority Caucus of intentionally frustrating the bill's progress. He mentioned that the next strategy would involve revealing the names of Majority MPs allegedly influenced by individuals advocating for the promotion of LGBT activities in the country.

However, the Majority Caucus denied these allegations. Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, Chairman of the Constitutional, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs Committee in Parliament, refuted claims of sabotage. He stated that the delays were due to known issues and that the Ningo-Prampram MP was aware of these factors.

In response to the ongoing developments, Speaker Bagbin reassured the public that the bill would be passed before Parliament adjourns for the Christmas and New Year break.

“I know that nobody in this House is opposed to the bill and I know the bill will see the light of day before we rise because the people of Ghana are expecting us to pass the bill before we go on recess. Failure to do so will have serious consequences on members as they want to advance in their political careers," he said.
