This call follows concerns from bill proponents about delays in transmitting the bill to the President for assent. During a courtesy call, Nuumo Gbelenfo III, the Acting President of the Osu Traditional Council, stressed,
“If it were the norm that marriage was set between people of the same sex, we would have seen our president marry a man. But that is not the case. So I am appealing to the president to ensure that the right thing is done by signing the bill into law in order for Ghana not to incur the wrath of God.
“It is a filthy practice, so we are urging the president and the Chief Justice to do the needful to avert the anger of God.”
Supporters of the bill have announced a demonstration against the Chief Justice scheduled for August 21, 2024, due to perceived delays.
Samuel Nartey George, the bill’s lead sponsor, announced this during a visit to the National Chief Imam and the Acting President of the Osu Traditional Council.
