Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has reassured Ghanaians that the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill will be passed into law after necessary corrections. The bill, which has sparked debate, will undergo a second consideration to address errors identified in the initial version.
Bagbin explained that the initial passage was rushed and done in his absence, prompting him to call for a review. He emphasized that the legislation should be treated as a national consensus, rather than a partisan issue. “We don’t want partisanship in it. It is for everybody,” he said at the IPR Ghana 2026 conference.
The Speaker is adamant that the bill will become law under his watch, stating, “When we are no longer there, you can do what you want to do. But so far as we continue to exist, that law will be the law of the land.” He also praised Minister Samuel Nartey George for his contribution to the parliamentary debate on the bill
