Six Members of Parliament (MPs) have expressed their intention to jointly sponsor a bi-partisan Private Members Bill for the House to pass specific legislation to expressly prohibit and criminalise the practice or advocacy of homosexuality in Ghana.
The Bill passed, will seek to further strengthen legal jurisprudence and existing legislation on unnatural carnal knowledge to reflect the current state of affairs.
“It is our belief that all members of this House will support this Bill when it comes before the House. We also hope to see action from the Executive through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs calling to order all diplomats whose actions constitute an affront to our laws and sovereignty,” the sponsors of the bill stated.
The statement bordered on the opening of an advocacy office for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersexual (LGBTQI+) rights in Ghana and the need for a strong national response.
The member of parliament for Ningo-Prampran, Sam George Nartey in the past hours has fended off attempts to attack him because of his advocacy for the Anti-Gay Bill put before parliament.
He has come under attack from very known personalities but the politician is having none of it.
He addresses anyone who comes at him in anyway he deems fit. Some of the known faces who attacked him and received a double dosage of what they gave include Sister Derby and Lydia Forson.
Joining the criticism was British politician Seb Dance who is also believed to be gay. He criticized his Ghanaian opposite for his stance and what he sought to achieve.
Then again, Sam George did not let it slide as he went out mildly but firmly to point it out that if the British politician was using his inability to approach ladies as excuse for being gay, then he can be of help.
