President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the government has consulted with the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin to reintroduce the Anti-Gay Bill as a government-sponsored bill instead of a private members bill.
Speaking during a Fellowship with the Clergy at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) on February 28, 2025, President Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to promote the Ghanaian moral values and his strong faith in the Christian values.
The Christian values, according to him, accepts only two genders- a man and a woman and that marriage only happens between the two.
“I as a Christian, uphold the values that only two genders exist as a man and woman and that the marriage is between a man and woman,” he stated.
“I have spoken with the Speaker so that a renewal of the expired Proper Family Values Bill should be a bill that is introduced by government rather than as a private member motion.”
The president expressed hope that this consultation with the Speaker will yield results and will bring out a renewed bill.
“It is my hope that the consultation will see a renewed Proper Family Values Bill. I believe that my leadership should be a reflection of the people that I govern and upon this I stand firm,” President Mahama emphasized.
