Supporters of the anti-LGBTQ bill have announced plans to protest against the Chief Justice on August 21, 2024, due to what they consider a delay in forwarding the bill to the President.
The Supreme Court postponed its decision on the injunction requests from Dr. Amanda Odoi and Broadcast Journalist Richard Sky concerning the bill’s transmission to the President, choosing instead to deliver the ruling on the same day as the final judgment.
Samuel Nartey George, the lead sponsor of the anti-LGBTQ bill, made this statement during a visit with some minority members to the National Chief Imam and the Acting President of the Osu Traditional Council.
He promised a peaceful demonstration to ensure the bill reaches the President for approval.
“We want to do a peaceful march on the 21st of August to the Chief Justice because right now it is not the president that is holding it. It is the Chief Justice. She is the one who is preventing parliament from sending it to the president.”
“…The people of Ghana just want her to do what we pay her salary for.Hear the case and give a judgement…If you don’t give a judgement, we are all hanging in the air,” he stated.
