We may complete amendments to anti-gay bill by March – Anyimadu-Antwi.


The Chairman of the Constitutional, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, is confident that the committee will finish amending the clauses of the bill on the promotion of proper human sexual rights and Ghanaian family values, also known as the anti-gay bill, between February and March this year for it to be passed._

The bill, which aims to criminalize LGBT activities, has sparked controversy since its introduction in Parliament by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo-Prampram, Samuel Nartey George, and some other lawmakers.
Although the Speaker, Alban Bagbin, assured that the anti-gay bill would be passed before the house adjourned for the Christmas break, it was unable to conclude the clause-by-clause amendments of the bill at the consideration stage.
In an interview with Citi News, Mr. Anyimadu-Antwi said he was very sure the remaining amendments would be done when Parliament resumes for the bill to be passed.
