The Member of Parliament for Assin South, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour has confirmed that the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill has been reintroduced to Parliament for further consideration.
The bill, which aims to ban LGBT activities and criminalize their promotion, advocacy, and funding, was approved by the 8th Parliament but did not receive Presidential assent during President Akufo-Addo’s tenure.
In an interview, Ntim Fordjour called on President John Dramani Mahama to approve the bill if it passes in the current Parliament.
“Myself, Sam George, Hon Bedzrah, Hon Alhassan Tampuli, Hon Abdul Kabiru, Hon Ekow Vincent, we have reintroduced it and so it is to support the speedy passage of the bill so that he can assent to it. It has been admitted and It has been received and so the processes are going to be set in motion,” he said.
