Kwaku Asante says the further amendment to the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill to exempt journalists, lawyers, academics and other professionals highlights concerns about the bill’s constitutional viability. According to him, these exemptions were necessary because criminalising legitimate professional duties would likely conflict with rights and freedoms protected under Ghana’s 1992 Constitution. Rightify Ghana expresses deep concern over the decision by the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, to suspend parliamentary sittings for three days to make way for the 4th African Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family Values and Sovereignty, a controversial gathering widely criticised by human rights advocates as an anti-rights conference. Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has stated emphatically that Speaker Alban Bagbin cannot overturn Parliament’s decision to pass the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, maintaining that the legislation was approved in full compliance with parliamentary procedures and that no rules were breached during its passage. Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has distanced himself from the post-passage processes of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, insisting that his responsibility ended once Parliament approved the legislation and that decisions regarding its transmission for presidential assent fall outside his remit. Mahama Details Executive Review Process Required for Controversial Anti-LGBTQ+ Legislation Speaker Bagbin Surprised by Passage of Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill, Calls for Review of Process As the Parliament of Ghana hosts the 4th African Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family Values and Sovereignty in Accra from June 3–6, 2026, it is important to be clear about one thing: there is very little that is genuinely African about this initiative. LGBTQI+ topics dominate today’s newspaper front pages following Parliament’s passage of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, commonly known as the anti-LGBTQ bill, Friday, May 29, 2026.
