He noted that the bill is currently subject to litigation, which aims to confirm whether the appropriate legal procedures were followed before its passage. He said "He [Bawumia] has said openly that he is anti-LGBTQ, and he's not going to support any conversation or argument that says we should normalise or legalise LGBTQ things in this country." "It's being litigated, and I'm not going to make a pronouncement on the legality of that bill, but he has said clearly that he will protect Ghanaian family and cultural values. He does not support all these LGBT things that some people are trying to promote. He's totally against it," he said on Accra-based Joy FM. His reactions come after Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, the Member of Parliament for Ho West, called on Dr Bawumia to demonstrate his commitment to preserving Ghanaian culture by urging President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to assent to the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values (anti-LGBTQ+) bill.
