One of the sponsors of the anti-gay bill, Samuel Nartey George, has said that the real intent of the bill is to deal with persons who promote the act of homosexuality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He accused most lgbtqi advocates of receiving money from homosexuals to lobby for them to be accepted in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some persons including Ghanaian academics, Prof Takyiwaa Manuh and Prof Audrey Gadzekpo, have all opposed the bill, especially the custodial sentencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ningo Prampram lawmaker said on the Sunrise show with Johnnie Hughes on Tuesday, March 5 that \u201cThe real intent of the anti-gay bill is to deal with advocacy, the likes of Takyiwaa Manu and Audrey Gasdzekpo and Amanda Odoi, these are people who are straight but are taking money from the gay lobby to try and indoctrinate our children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 28, Parliament passed the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, otherwise known as anti-gay Bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Akufo-Akufo-Addo later urged all stakeholders to await the outcome of the case that has been filed in the Supreme Court by a concerned citizen with regard to the bill before any further action is taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President said with this new development, it would be proper to wait for the ruling of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 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. 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,\u201d the President wrote in a statement posted on Facebook by the Director of Communication at the presidency, Eugene Arhin on March 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But South Dayi lawmaker Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor accused Mr Akufo-Addo of relying on hearsay to justify his decision not to sign the anti-lgbtqi bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the Ghana Tonight show on TV3 on Monday March 4, Mr Dafeamekpor said \u201clet the record reflect that somewhere last year two persons proceeded to court, one to the Supreme Court and the other to the High Court challenging the validity of the bill on grounds breath of our fundamental right. The other proceeded to the Supreme Court on constitutionality but they were informed that that was premature. So we are aware that there are people who are on standby to mount challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
