The bill, officially known as “The Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill 2021,” has been a subject of intense debate and controversy in the West African nation. The traditional leaders cited concerns over divine retribution if the bill is not enacted, following the delays in transmitting the bill to the President for assent. During a courtesy call, Nuumo Gbelenfo III, the Acting President of the Osu Traditional Council, urged the president and the Chief Justice to do what is necessary to avert God’s anger. “If it were the norm that marriage was set between people of the same sex, we would have seen our president marry a man. But that is not the case. So, I am appealing to the president to ensure that the right thing is done by signing the bill into law so that Ghana does not incur the wrath of God.
