Four Members of Parliament’s Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee from Ghana will meet the United Kingdom (UK) Parliament over the anti-LGBTQ+ bill on June 13.
The meeting over the Promotion of Proper Human Seck-xual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, also known as the anti-g@y bill, will last three days.
Speaking on the invitation from the UK Parliament, the Chairman of the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Ghana’s Parliament, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, said they will take off from the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) today, Sunday, June 12.
Hon Anyimadu-Antwi disclosed that the three-day meeting will begin in the UK on Monday, June 13, and end on Wednesday, June 15, 2022.
“The invitation came to the Speaker, and the Speaker forwarded it to the Committee.
Four members of the committee, including myself and the ranking member, will be attending this important meeting. ”We will go on Sunday, so we walk into the meeting Monday morning, and by Wednesday, we are done,” he told TV3, per Joy News.
Ningo Prampram MP Sam Nartey George and eight other MPs are currently sponsoring an Anti- LGBTQI Bill on the Promotion of Proper Human Seck-xual Rights that proscribes activities of the LGBTQ+ community.
People of the same secks who engage in the act could spend up to 10 years in jail if the law is passed.
Members of the minority caucus in Parliament have recently accused Mr. Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi of deliberately stalling the progress of the bill.
It has warned that it will resist the passage of other bills by the government if the process to pass the anti-g@y bill is not expedited.
