Don’t Worry, Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill Will Be Passed Soon – Alban Bagbin Assures.

Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has assured that the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, popularly referred to as the anti-LGBTQ+ bill, will be passed by the current Parliament.

He made the remarks at the Kasoa Traditional Leaders and Stakeholders Forum, which brought together community leaders, residents, and government officials to discuss key development issues affecting the municipality.

Addressing the gathering, Speaker Bagbin explained that the delay in the bill’s passage into law was due to the refusal of the former President to assent to it after it was approved by the previous Parliament.

According to him, the bill, which sparked intense national debate, was largely driven by public input and reflects the values and concerns expressed by many Ghanaians and traditional authorities.

He stressed that Parliament remains committed to ensuring that the legislation reflects the will of the people, adding that the current composition of the House places it in a stronger position to carry the bill through.

“Be sure, I am there, the law will be passed. The law has been processed because of the conversion of Parliament when the former president declined to assent it. When that Parliament ended, it ended with that bill in the hands of the former Parliament.

Bagbin assured that the bill will be passed when Parliament reconvenes, signalling renewed momentum behind one of the most debated pieces of legislation in recent years.

Speaking at the same forum in Kasoa, the MP for Awutu Senya East Naa Koryor Okunor said the traditional leaders forum organized would go a long way to help bring development in the area.

Finally, Sariki Awudu lsaaka Giwaa who spoke on behalf of the traditional leaders commended the organizers of the occasion and called for peace among Nananom to promote development.
