Gabby Otchere-Darko, a leading member of the incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) government has slammed the new anti-LGBTQ+ bill in a new tweet.
In a tweet, the popular politician said he can’t be a part of the seeming injustice from Sam George and his cohort who are pushing for the bill to be passed into law.
Meanwhile, Parliament’s Committee on Constitutional, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs, is currently holding its first public hearing on the Proper Human Sexuality and Ghanaian Family Values Bill 2021.
So far, the Committee has received over 150 memoranda from individuals, groups, and faith-based organizations and has programmed to hear 10 petitions each week.
He shared;
I am against the anti-gay bill & not shy to say so. I am a proud Ghanaian who cherishes all that is good about our value systems, including tolerance. And, I will defend the right of minorities everywhere. I have the courage and a sense of justice to disagree with the majority.
