The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, and Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Samuel Nartey George, has reaffirmed his unwavering support for the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill currently before Parliament.
In an interview on TV3 on Friday, April 11, the MP confirmed that he has resubmitted the Private Member’s Bill and is now awaiting an invitation from the Constitutional, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs Committee to move the process forward.
“I have not changed my position on the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill. I have laid the Private Member’s Bill before Parliament,” Sam George stated.
Meanwhile, former President John Dramani Mahama has suggested that the bill would gain greater legitimacy and broader support if it were introduced as a government-sponsored initiative. Speaking during a meeting with the Catholic Bishops Conference, Mr. Mahama emphasized the importance of promoting family values through education and cultural awareness.
“For the bill to have broader legitimacy and a higher chance of success, it should ideally come with government backing,” he remarked.
