Samuel Nartey George is Minister of Communications, Digitalisation, and Innovation-designate
Samuel Nartey George, the Minister of Communications, Digitalisation, and Innovation-designate, has pledged to reintroduce the Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill in the 9th Parliament.
During his vetting by the Appointments Committee on Thursday, January 30, Sam George reiterated his staunch opposition to LGBTQ+ activities, emphasising that the bill is crucial for preserving Ghanaian cultural values and societal norms.
“This is a matter of principle and national interest. The Anti-Gay Bill is not about discrimination, but about preserving our moral and cultural values as a country,” he explained.
He argued that while Ghana upholds human rights, some practices do not align with the nation’s traditions and beliefs.
Sam George is confident that the bill will gain widespread support from both Parliament and the general populace.
“The people of Ghana have spoken clearly on this issue, and as their representative, I will ensure that their voice is heard,” he added.
Sam George added that he is committed to collaborating with Parliament and key stakeholders to push for the bill’s passage, underscoring his commitment to defending Ghanaian societal values.
