Majority Leader
March 31, 2023
Chairman of the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi has said the Committees report has been laid on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, March 30, 2023.
According to him majority of Ghanaians do not understand the process for which a Bill of this kind is supposed to go through, therefore, it makes them believe that, the Bill has been delayed.
In an interview he explained that, the committee needs to take its time to work on the Bill due to its controversial nature in order to engage all groups and individuals that submitted a memorandum to the committee.
He further added that, the enforcement of this LGBTQI+ law would be very difficult even after it is passed since people who engage themselves into those LGBTQ+ activities do so in secrecy, therefore getting an evidence to back a case to prosecute a person wouldn’t be so easy.
The Bill is yet to be taken through the second reading where principles of bill would be looked at; the chairman of the Committee revealed.
