Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, a co-sponsor of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025 popularly known as the anti-LGBTQ+ bill is urging Parliament to immediately bring back the proposed legislation for consideration.
The bill, which appeared on Tuesday’s Parliamentary agenda on October 21, was missing from Wednesday’s Order Paper, sparking concern among members of the Minority Caucus. Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga later explained that its inclusion on Tuesday had been an administrative error.
Addressing the media, the Assin South MP insisted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government must show commitment to seeing the bill through.
“We will not allow the NDC government to run away from the Bill. This is a Bill that matters to Ghanaians. We all recall the propaganda and lies they spread about it, yet we passed it when we were in government. So why are they now avoiding its passage?
We are demanding that the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, be passed now not postponed. Wherever the Bill has been kept, it must be brought back to the Order Paper. Ghanaians want it passed now,” he stressed.
