Co-chair of the Citizens Movement against Corruption, Edem Senanu, has expressed his intention to cast his vote in the upcoming elections based on how the Presidency handles the anti-LGBTQI bill.
He voiced dissatisfaction with the way the bill has been handled thus far by the Presidency.
During an appearance on the Key Points program on TV3, he criticized the unprecedented situation where the President claimed awareness of a lawsuit even before its filing, emphasizing the political implications of the issue.
“It has never happened in the history of this country that a bill is sent to the president before he receives it he says he is aware of a suit which has not even been filed. this is a political issue, it has implications for us, the party must recognize that those of us watching will vote based on how the bill is treated.
“My vote will count on its bill, let us serve this notice.”
Senanu emphasized that voters like himself will consider the treatment of the bill in deciding their votes, issuing a notice to that effect.
The Supreme Court indefinitely adjourned the case related to the anti-LGBTQI bill, citing documents presented by the Speaker of Parliament containing objectionable language.
The court instructed the Speaker’s lawyers to submit new documents. Despite the dismissal of the Speaker’s lawyer’s preliminary objection, the court permitted amendments to the motion for injunction sought by broadcast journalist Richard Sky, over the Speaker’s objections.
Chief Justice Gertrude Torkoornoo, leading the Apex Court, criticized the unnecessary preliminary objection and emphasized parties’ rights to present appropriate formulations of their reliefs.
The Chief Justice rebuked the Speaker’s lawyers for wasting the court’s time.
Meanwhile, Ghanaian journalist Richard Dela Sky and researcher Dr. Amanda Odoi are scheduled to appear before the Supreme Court to advance their respective lawsuits contesting the passage of the anti-LGBTQ+ Bill.
