Ghana’s Speaker of Parliament has described LGBTQI+ sexuality as a pandemic “worse” than COVID-19.
“This pandemic must be fought by all of us”, he said on Tuesday, 29 June 2021 when an eight-member bipartisan committee of lawmakers, led by Ningo Prampram MP Sam Nartey George, presented to him, a private members’ bill to criminalise LGBTQI+ sexuality in Ghana.
“I can tell you it’s worse than COVID-19”, Mr Bagbin said, adding: “Now, I’m happy our beloved country, Ghana, is together in this”.
The “faint-hearted”, he noted, “will soon be stranding to come back to join the fight”.
“His Excellency the President has spoken, our traditional leaders have spoken, our religious leaders have spoken. Together, Ghanaians have spoken”, Mr Bagbin added.
He assured Ghanaians that Parliament will work assiduously to pass the bill by the end of the year.
The bill, apart from criminalising LGBTQI+ sexuality, also seeks to ban the airing of LGBTQI+ materials on media platforms among other things.
In attendance were members of the clergy, chiefs, other religious groups and opinion leaders, who have vowed to fight the LGBTQI+ community with one voice.
Presenting the bill, Mr George expressed confidence that it will become a reference law for other African countries.

Guys talking about the loans as if the loans are free, even grants have conditions attached so both sides benefit, every country has its culture and laws to uphold and currently it is illegal, we don't necessarily have to accept everything that is acceptable in the west, they won't tey thos im Saudi Arabia etc.
I am praying that all Alban Bagbin and Sam George's kids and grandchildren become homosexuals and trans-sexuals
Ghanaian MPs are all e-diots. That's why their priority is somebody's sexual preference. Have they not seen that Ghanaians need jobs, affordable food and housing?
It is very fooooolish for these stuuuupid politicians to worry about people's sexual orientation when they cannot solve pressing national problems such as housing, food prices and unemployment. We are suffering in Ghana because poor political leaders cannot solve basic problems.
We are the same country that goes to the west begging for loans and grants. Those loans are grants come from taxes paid for by citizens of the developed countries including their gays, lesbians and trans-sexuals citizens. Instead of focusing on how to include everbody in Ghana to solve our economic problems, the foooooools in parliament are thinking of criminalizing somebody who might help to develop Ghana. Foooooooooooooolish parliamentarians.
