President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has promised to wait for the Supreme Court's decision before making a decision on the anti-LGBTQ+ bill. Following a person's legal challenge to the measure, he revealed this during his address at the New Year's greetings event with the Diplomatic Corps in Peduase. Keeping Ghana's human rights record intact is a priority for President Akufo-Addo. There was no need to worry, he reassured ambassadors, because the Ghanaian Family Values and Proper Human Sexual Rights Bill would damage the country's reputation for human rights.
While in office, the president pledged to maintain the United States' steadfast dedication to upholding the rule of law and human rights. The president did not discuss the details of the measure because he was waiting for it to reach his desk. On the other hand, he did mention that an angry citizen had challenged the validity of the proposed law in a lawsuit filed with the SC. Given this new information, the president has asked everyone to be patient, saying, "It would be, as well, for all of us to hold our hands and await the decision of the Court before any action is taken."
In a contentious vote on February 28, 2024, Parliament passed a bill criminalizing LGBTQ+ activism, funding, and activities. Potential sentences for individuals found guilty include 6 months to 3 years in prison, while those involved in supporting and promoting the crime might face 3 to 5 years in prison.
