“Sign the LGBTQI+ bill as soon as Parliament passes it”- Church of Pentecost general Secretary tells Akufo Addo
Apostle Dr Alfred Koduah, a former General Secretary of the Church of Pentecost, has asked to President Akufo-Addo to sign the Anti LGBTQ+ Bill as soon as it is enacted by Parliament, which is expected to happen soon.
In recent years, the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values’ 2021 Bill, also known as the Anti LGBTQ+ bill, has received a great deal of attention both locally and abroad.
It is clear that the majority of Ghanaians are opposed to its passage, which explains why the former General Secretary of the Church of Pentecost has requested that the President give his approval to the bill once it has been enacted by Parliament.
Others, in the midst of increased clamor for its passage, want it annulled on the grounds that it violates the fundamental human rights of those participating in the act.
Religious leaders and traditionalists have all stepped into the fray, threatening to mount a campaign against members of Parliament who vote against the bill’s passage.
The Apostle Dr Alfred Koduah is pushing President Akufo-Addo to sign the bill as soon as it is passed by Parliament, citing this as justification for his request.
“I want to see the president appending his signature to this bill as soon as it is passed by Parliament because this is so dear to the heart of Ghanaians. If you look at Ghana from the political angle, you will see that the country is polarized which affects everything in this country but with this particular, you have NPP and NDC all coming together.”
