Presidency Warns Parliament To Refrain From Transmitting Anti-LGBTQI+ Bill To Akufo-Addo
- The Office of the President has requested Parliament to refrain from sending the anti-gay bill to the President.
- In a statement signed by Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo, the office disclosed that the Attorney-General had informed the President
The Office of the President has issued a stern warning to Parliament to refrain from sending the anti-gay bill to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his assent.
The decision, according to Nana Bediatuo Asante, the Secretary to the President, stems from the acknowledgment of two pending applications for an order of interlocutory injunction before the Supreme Court.
The applications seek to prevent Parliament from sending the Bill to the President and to restrain the President from signifying his assent to the Bill, pending the final determination of the matter.
In a statement signed by Nana Bediatuo, on Monday, the office disclosed that the Attorney-General had informed the President via a letter dated March 18, 2024, that he had been duly served with both applications.
The statement added that the Attorney-General also advised the President not to take any action concerning the Bill until the issues raised by the suits are resolved by the Supreme Court.
