Alban Bagbin, Speaker of Parliament, has asked President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the judiciary to confess and repent for sinning against the constitution.
He said this was due to the controversy surrounding the Anti-Gay Bill.
Addressing the media in Accra on Wednesday, Bagbin noted that Parliament had been undermined because of issues such as these.
He indicated that “Parliamentarians who are to be loyal to Parliament rather than to the Supreme Court run to the Supreme Court at the slightest opportunity to use the Supreme Court to undermine Parliament. This might be one of the reasons Parliament and Members of Parliament (MPs) are not respected and are treated with disdain.
“This was exhibited by the president’s refusal to even receive the LGBTQ+ Bill, which was duly processed and passed by Parliament without any legal basis. The judiciary is supportive of this conduct by the receipt and processing of a suit on this matter.
“These are dangerous precedents in our democratic journey. Both the president and the judiciary have sinned against the constitution and must seek the opportunity to confess and repent to be forgiven,” he stated.
