Mahama expected to honour commitment to Anti-LGBTQ Bill – Sam George
The Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has expressed confidence that President John Dramani Mahama will honour his commitment to sign the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill when it is transmitted to him by Parliament.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, May 30, after Parliament passed the bill, Mr. George thanked the leadership of Parliament and members of the Constitution, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee for their role in ensuring the legislation progressed through the House.
He particularly commended the Chairman of the Committee for his leadership and dedication in steering the bill through Parliament.
Mr. George praised the speed with which the current committee handled the bill, contrasting it with the lengthy process under the previous Parliament.
“It took us three years under the previous leadership of the committee, but barely eight months under Honourable Shaibu to get here,” he said.
Following Parliament's approval of the bill, Mr. George indicated that it would now go through the necessary parliamentary processes before being transmitted to the President.
He expressed hope that the legislation would reach President Mahama by next week and stressed that he expected the President to assent to it.
