The Office of the Presidency has issued a stern warning to Parliament regarding the transmission of the recently passed anti-LGBTQI law. In a statement signed by the president’s executive secretary, Nana Asante Bediatuo, Parliament was urged to refrain from presenting the bill to President Nana Akufo-Addo for signing.
The statement highlighted that the bill cannot be transmitted while there are pending cases against its transmission and assenting to it before the Supreme Court. It was emphasized that both applications have been duly served on Parliament, making it improper for the bill to be forwarded to the President until the Supreme Court resolves the matters raised in the suits.
Furthermore, the statement cautioned Parliament to “cease and desist” from transmitting the bill to the President until the issues before the Supreme Court are settled. This directive underscores the importance of upholding due process and respecting the legal proceedings surrounding the bill.
The warning from the Office of the Presidency signals the administration’s commitment to adhering to legal protocols and ensuring that any decisions regarding the anti-LGBTQI bill are made in accordance with the rule of law. It also reflects the ongoing debate and controversy surrounding the bill, which has sparked widespread discussion and activism within Ghanaian society.
