The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has described activities and practices of LGBTQI+ as worse than the COVID-19 pandemic.
He made the remarks at the Speaker’s breakfast meeting to receive a private members’ bill sponsored by the coalition of eight Members of Parliament (MPs) against LGBTQI+ in Ghana.
The brief ceremony was graced by some MPs and some religious leaders, including the immediate past Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Opoku Onyinah.
Mr Bagbin, in a clarion call to all Ghanaians to support efforts against the fight, said the bill will be passed into law within the year.
