The Member of Parliament for Assin South, John Ntim Fordjour, has called on President to give the LGBTQ+ Bill utmost urgency.
In an interview with UTV Ghana, he stressed that it should be given the same level of priority as the E-Levy and other pressing national issues. "Initially, when Mahama was in opposition, he criticised Akufo-Addo for not signing the bill, stating that 'If I was in power, I would have signed this a long time,'" Fordjour stated.
He urged the president to take swift action and support the existing bill, which aims to criminalise the LGBTQ+ activities in Ghana.
However, Fordjour claims that Mahama has changed his stance on the bill. "Mahama has announced plans to reintroduce the Proper Family Values Bill, aimed at prohibiting LGBTQ+ activities in Ghana.
