Anti-Gay Bill: Mr. President, Please Sign The Bill – Ghana Pentecostal & Charismatic Council To Akufo-Addo

The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has appealed to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to sign the anti-LGBTQ+ bill.

The President, in a statement dated March 4, gave an impression of dilly-dallying in assenting to the bill as he said  “I think it will serve little purpose to go, at this stage, into the details of the origin of this proposed law, which is yet to reach my desk. But, suffice it to say, that I have learnt that, today, a challenge has been mounted at the Supreme Court by a concerned citizen to the constitutionality of the proposed legislation”.

He added; “In the circumstances, it would be, as well, for all of us to hold our hands, and await the decision of the Court before any action is taken. The operation of the institutions of the Ghanaian state will determine the future trajectory of the rule of law and human rights compliance in our country.”

The Pentecostal Council, in a press release sighted by Ghmessenger, have asked the President not to waste a minute in legitimizing the bill.

“Like every nation, Ghana is defined by her unique cultural and family values. Therefore, the GPCC take this opportunity to kindly request that the President of the Republic gives assent to this Bill to bring finality to this advocacy which seeks to uphold our long standing religious and cultural family value system. This is the earnest expectation of most Ghanaians”, the clergy said.
