This judgment follows months of heated public debate and political contention over the proposed legislation.

The bill aims to criminalize activities associated with LGBTQ+ advocacy.

If enacted, it would impose penalties on individuals who promote or fund pro-LGBTQ+ initiatives and even extend liability to those providing indirect support.

Supporters argue that, the bill is essential to preserving Ghanaian cultural and family values, which they claim are being undermined by foreign ideologies.

Opponents, however, contend that it infringes on fundamental human rights, including freedom of expression, association, and equality under the law.

The legal challenges, brought forward by journalist and lawyer Richard Dela Sky and equality advocate Amanda Odioi, question the legislative process behind the bill.

The plaintiffs argue that, Parliament failed to meet the quorum requirements stipulated in Articles 102 and 104 of the Constitution when passing the bill, rendering the process unconstitutional and invalid.

The Supreme Court’s decision will determine whether the legislative process behind the bill adhered to constitutional standards, potentially setting a precedent for Ghana’s democratic governance and human rights obligations.

President Akufo-Addo, during a joint press briefing with US Vice President, Kamala Harris at Jubilee House on Monday, said some modifications have been made to significant portions of the bill by the Attorney-General.

Adding that, the final outcome of the said modifications is yet to be determined.

“My understanding with the recent discussion I had with the chairman of the committee is that, substantial elements of the bill have already been modified,” he stated while responding to a question from a New York Times journalist.

However, responding to the claim, Mr Defeamekpor, who is also a member of the committee, stated that the President’s claims are unfounded.

He said very little changes have been done to the bill and that the bill still maintains its essence.

“Now another propaganda [that] has been put out is that the bill has been watered down, it’s been diluted, not at all. They should be rest assured the bill has not been diluted,” he said on JoyNews’ PM Express.

According to him, the only changes the Attorney-General had suggested were the removal of ‘proper’ from the bill’s official name and the reduction of the number of years assigned to offences from five years to three years in line with already existing laws on misdemeanor.

Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo has assured the international community that Ghana’s Parliament will consider the sensitivity of the human rights aspect in relation to the bill which international observers have described as draconian.

“The legislation is a legislation that is being proposed as a Private Members Bill. This is not an official legislation of the government but it is one that is being mooted by a handful of private members,” President Akufo-Addo clarified.
