Advocates of the anti-LGBTQ bill have announced plans to demonstrate against the Chief Justice on August 21, 2024, citing delays in the process of transmitting the bill to the President.
The Supreme Court deferred the ruling on injunction applications by Dr. Amanda Odoi and broadcast journalist Richard Sky regarding the transmission of the anti-LGBTQ bill to the President.
Instead, the ruling will be delivered on the same day as the final judgment.
The lead sponsor of the anti-LGBTQ bill, Samuel Nartey George, made this announcement during a courtesy call on the National Chief Imam and the Acting President of the Osu Traditional Council by himself and some Minority members.
He assured that the protest would be peaceful, aiming to ensure the bill reaches the President for his assent.
“We want to do a peaceful march on the 21st of August to the Chief Justice because right now it is not the president that is holding it. It is the Chief Justice. She is the one who is preventing parliament from sending it to the president.”
“…The people of Ghana just want her to do what we pay her salary for. Hear the case and give a judgement…If you don’t give a judgement, we are all hanging in the air,” he stated.
