The Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has disclosed that this session of Parliament will pass the anti-LGBTQ+ law.
He said Parliament will consider it and ensure it’s passed despite the two court cases against it.
The Speaker said there was no injunction on Parliament, therefore, it will go ahead with its process.
Speaking at a press soirée organised by Parliament in Tamale, the former Nadowli Kaleo MP said he would rather die than live in Ghana if LGBQ+ is allowed by the law.
Mr Bagbin reiterated that he cannot be in a society where LGBTQ is officially sanctioned.
He added, however, that even though he was totally against their practice, he thinks it is wrong to abuse their rights.
“On the LGBTQ+, the +++ being other things they don’t want you to know, you can go and marry a cat and wed in a church, and you say the law should allow it? Anyway, I have declared that I can't live in such a society that’s why I love my Ghana,” he said.
Mr Bagbin said LGBTQ+ things were not right, and that was why the European court had ruled against them.
”They are not rights, that is why everywhere in the world they are passing laws and regulating them," he said.
The Speaker said Ghana’s law was inadequate, therefore, there is a need for legislation to regulate their activities.
Mr Bagbin said Parliament has supported the committee working on the bill to roam the world including Ghana to talk about family values.
”We are talking about Ghanaian family values, we are not talking about some countries that don’t have values. I made it clear to them...we have some values and they must be recognised and accepted by our law,” he told the journalists.
He added that currently, most countries in Europe have started feeling the repercussion of the LBGTQ practice in their countries.
"They have seen the repercussion in their countries but I can tell you that in the next 50 years, there will be no indigenous European in the world mark it," he added.
The Speaker said the fertility rate in Europe currently is 1.3 adding that the first country to perish is Greece with a fertility rate of 1.1.
He said Africa and America are still high but the forecast is that in 100 years to come the world will be a Muslim world.
"I don't want Ghana to be extinct, I want Ghana to continue to survive and I won't allow anything to stop it from doing that," he said.
The Speaker's press soiree was part of activities organised by Parliament to mark its 30th anniversary.
The Speaker and his team are expected to visit the overlord of Mamprugu, the Overlord of Dagbona and the Yagbon Wura and also hold a public forum in Tamale.
