Suma Trad. C'cil honours Bagbin, 7 MPs for anti-LGBTQ+ fight
The Suma traditional council in the Bono Region has honoured the Speaker of Ghana's parliament, Mr Kingsford Alban Sumana Bagbin, and seven members of parliament for their outstanding fight against LGBTQ+ sexuality.
Odeneho Dr Afram Brempong III presented eight golden swords and citations to the seven MPs and the Speaker.
The ruler of the Suma traditional area, however, admonished them not to relent on their efforts at fighting LGBTQ+ sexuality.
Odeneho Dr Afram Brempong III reiterated his position to punish people involved in LGBTQ+ sexuality who are found in his jurisdiction in accordance with existing traditional laws if parliament fails to enact a law on that.
Odeneho Dr Afram Brempong III again urged the government to rubbish claims that passing the anti-LGBTQ+ law will lead to a stifling of cash into the consolidated fund.
The seven MPs awarded were Sam George, Rev. Ntim Fordjour, Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini, Della Sowah and others.
Speaking on their behalf, Mr Sam George commended the chief for honouring their efforts.
He reaffirmed the position of parliament in enacting a law to forbid the practice of LGBTQ+ in Ghana.
He said the committee responsible for the bill is working on it and hoped that by Easter 2022, the bill banning the activities of LGBTQ+ sexuality would be passed.
