\u2022 Alban Bagbin<\/a> has said that Ghana will face no funding problem for passing the anti-LGBTQ+ bill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 His view has been rejected by the MP for Member of Parliament<\/a>for Asante Akim Central<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Kwame Anyimadu says Ghana will experience economic difficulties for passing the bill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kwame Anyimadu Antwi, the Member of Parliament<\/a> for Asante Akim Central Constituency has contested claims by Speaker of Parliament<\/a> Alban Bagbin<\/a> that the country will suffer no economic losses if the anti-LGBTQ bill is passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, it is erroneous for Alban Bagbin<\/a> to make such assertions as he is convinced that the aspect of the law that recommends jail terms for homosexuals in the country will ultimately impact the country\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that when people are imprisoned as a result of the law, state funds will have to be expended to cater for the prisoners which amount to the loss of funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat decision that the Speaker made, I do not agree with that. If you criminalize it and a person is sentenced to prison, who\u2019s going to feed the person, so it affects the national purse,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alban Bagbin<\/a> in June this year, said that LGBTQ is \u201cworse than COVID-19, and I am happy that our beloved country, Ghana, is together in this. The President has spoken, our traditional leaders have spoken, our religious leaders have spoken together, and Ghanaians have spoken with one voice, and we don\u2019t want to do anything that has to do with LGBTQ activities. I will always do what is right because good will always triumph over evil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kwame Anyimadu who is also the chairman of Parliament<\/a>\u2019s Constitutional, Legal and Parliament<\/a>ary Affairs Committee said that Parliament<\/a> will not be pressured into approving the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spoke of being aware of threats from some religious institutions but warned that Parliament<\/a> will not bow to such threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is a threat, and we will not take that. We will not be intimidated by what they are saying to pass the law. But, having received over 100 and something petitions, which do we ignore?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His comments follow cautions by the National Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye that his outfit will vote against any party or MP who rejects the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apostle Nyamekye said that the Church of Pentecost make a tenth of the population of the country and will make their voices heard in the elections if the bill is rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to cause people to come onto the street, and we\u2019re going to warn any government that if you vote against this bill, we will vote you out, that is it. There\u2019s no room for neutrality,\u201d he told journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
