Proponents of anti-LGBTQ Bill to demonstrate against Chief Justice over delay

Proponents of the anti-LGBTQ bill have announced plans to demonstrate against the Chief Justice on August 21, 2024, over what they deem as the delay in the processes towards the transmission of the bill to the President.

The Supreme Court deferred the ruling on the injunction applications by Dr Amanda Odoi and Broadcast Journalist, Richard Sky to the transmission of the anti-LGBTQ bill to the President and rather deliver the ruling on the same day the final judgement will be given.

The lead sponsor of the anti-LGBT bill, Samuel Nartey George said this when he along with some minority members paid a courtesy call on the National Chief Imam and the Acting President of the Osu Traditional Council.

He assured of a peaceful protest to ensure the bill was transferred to the President for his assent.

“We want to do a peaceful march on the 21st of August to the Chief Justice because right now it is not the president that is holding it. It is the Chief Justice. She is the one who is preventing parliament from sending it to the president.”

“…The people of Ghana just want her to do what we pay her salary for. Hear the case and give a judgement…If you don’t give a judgement, we are all hanging in the air,” he stated.
