My position on anti-LGBTQI Bill has not changed – Sam George

Samuel Nartey George is the Minister for Communication and Digital Technology. He is also the MP for Ningo Prampram. He has reaffirmed his strong support for the Anti-LGBTQI Bill in Parliament.

Sam George confirmed that he resubmitted the Private Member’s Bill. He is waiting for an invitation from the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee to proceed. In a TV3 interview on April 11, he stated his position remains unchanged.

He opposes LGBTQI activities in Ghana. “I have not changed my position on the anti-LGBTQI Bill,” he said. He believes LGBTQI practices are unacceptable in the country.

Sam George is a leading advocate for this bill. It aims to criminalize LGBTQI activities in Ghana. Supporters say it reflects Ghana’s cultural and religious values. Critics argue it violates fundamental human rights.

President John Dramani Mahama recently commented on the bill. He suggested it would gain more legitimacy if introduced by the government. During a meeting with Catholic Bishops, he emphasized promoting family values through education.

“For broader legitimacy and success, it should have government backing,” Mr. Mahama stated.
