ANTI LGBTQ BILL: AG ADVICES PRESIDENT NOT TO TAKE ANY ACTION PENDING SUPREME COURT DECISION
The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has advised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo not to take any action on the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill 2024 pending a Supreme Court decision on two separate applications for an interlocutory injunction against the bill.
In a letter dated March 18 addressed to Parliament and signed by the executive secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante, it was indicated that the Attorney-General wrote to the President stating, amongst other things, that “he has been duly served with both applications”.
He, therefore, advised the President “not to take any step in relation to the Bill until the matters raised by the suits are determined by the Supreme Court”.
The statement further requested that Parliament “cease and desist from transmitting the Bill to the President until the matters before the Supreme Court are resolved”.

The President has expressed his desire not to assent to the Human Sexual Rights Bill & Family Values Bill 2024.
His reason is that, since the constitutionality of the bill is being challenged, he finds it proper
to maintain the status quo until the court decides those issues.
