Member of Parliament for Juaboso Constituency, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has expressed worry over Dr Bawumia‘s reluctance to clarify his stance on same-sex marriage.
Akandoh suggests that both the president and vice president are hesitant to support the Anti-LGBT+ bill due to potential financial gains they might lose if it becomes law.
In an interview with UTV, Akandoh emphasised the need for clarity from the Akufo-Addo government regarding their position on LGBT+ issues, particularly questioning Dr. Bawumia’s silence on the matter given his presidential ambitions.
Meanwhile, Nana Bediatuo Asante, Secretary to the President, issued a statement on Monday, March 18, 2024, urging Parliament not to send the recently passed Anti-LGBT+ Bill to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for approval.
The presidency cited ongoing legal challenges, with two applications for an order of interlocutory injunction against the Bill pending before the Supreme Court.
In a letter dated March 18, 2024, the Attorney-General informed President Akufo-Addo about these legal actions, cautioning against transmitting the Bill for assent while the matters are under judicial review.
“It has come to the attention of this Office that while the President and other senior officials of the Presidency were at Peduase for a Cabinet Retreat on Thursday, 14th March 2024, you attempted to submit the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2024 (the ‘Bill’) to Jubilee House for the President to signify his assent or otherwise to the Bill,” part of the statement read.
Is it by force for him to declare his stance on that foolish issue?? Why do you NDC people always prick on the conscience of other people so stupidly? Idiots. You want to force him to say something so that you will stand on it to troll him unnecessarily. He is clever than all of you including your John (the oguanfun) Mahama.
If. You. Have. Nothing to. Tell. Ghanian. Better. Keep. Quick. Your. Dirty. Mouth shut. Fools.
