The National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values has renewed calls for Parliament to expedite the passage of the anti-LGBTQ+ bill, urging that it be treated as a public bill rather than a private member’s bill.
At a press conference held on October 28, 2025, Secretary General Moses Foh-Amoaning emphasized that the bill reflects the will of the Ghanaian people.
“It would be good if the President’s desire for a public bill brought by the Attorney-General is fulfilled. Ghanaians voted for the President with this issue as a key concern. That’s what the people want, it should be a public bill, not a private member’s bill,” Foh-Amoaning stated.
The coalition cautioned government against politicizing the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, describing it as a moral and national imperative.
“This bill is not a partisan initiative. It represents a collective moral stance and must not be subjected to political maneuvering,” the coalition warned.
Foh-Amoaning also called on President Mahama to honor his campaign promise to sign the bill into law and resist pressure from foreign institutions.
“The President, who assured Ghanaians he would sign the bill upon assuming office, has remained silent at this critical juncture. Such inaction risks undermining public trust,” he said.
He further urged the President to act swiftly once the bill is presented, stating, “The President must honor his word and promptly assent to the bill.”
In addition, Foh-Amoaning criticized Professor Gordon Akanzuwine Awandare, Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, for revising the University’s statutes to promote gender inclusivity and the use of gender-neutral pronouns.
“We remind the University that Ghana’s laws recognize only male and female genders. Implementing policies beyond this framework could conflict with existing laws and damage the institution’s reputation,” he said.
The coalition called for an immediate review and amendment of the University’s gender policies, warning that failure to act could lead to widespread public disappointment and erosion of trust in government leadership.
