Charles Owusu, formerly of the Forestry Commission, has reacted to President John Dramani Mahama’s recent remarks on the Anti-LGBTQ Bill.
Addressing a delegation from the Christian Council at the Jubilee House, President Mahama emphasised his stand on the passage of the bill, indicating that his office is ever ready to sign the bill anytime Parliament presents it to his office.
“A person’s gender is determined at birth, and the family is the foundation of our nation. That is our position. So there are no questions or equivocations about what we believe. I believe that we have no questions or equivocations about what we believe. I believe that we are completely aligned with the Christian Council in terms of your belief. We agree with the Speaker to relay the bill and let Parliament debate it. And if there are any amendments or adjustments that need to be made, if the people’s representatives in Parliament endorse the bill, vote on it, and pass it, and it comes to me as President, I will sign it,” President Mahama said.
Reacting to this on a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Charles Owusu said: “I had mixed feelings about what the President said. He reiterated his belief and readiness to sign the bill....It’s a promise he made, and we will hold him to it.”
