The Minister-designate for Communications, Sam George, has announced to reintroduce the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill in Parliament.
With it, he aims at emphasizing its importance in protecting Ghanaian values and safeguarding children.
Appearing before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on January 30, Sam George reiterated his commitment to advancing the bill.
“My position is, that Bill [Anti-Gay] is a critical part of our national lives, Ghanaian family values, our innocent children must be protected. In this 9th Parliament, that Bill will be reintroduced. Either as a private member Bill or government Bill, I will work with the government, if it’s my bill I will bring it back again.”
His comments come in response to President John Dramani Mahama’s recent suggestion that a government-sponsored bill would be more effective than the current Private Member’s Bill.
President Mahama highlighted that such an approach would allow for broader consultation and foster national consensus.
