President John Dramani Mahama has declared that marriage should be between a man and a woman and not a man and a man.
According to him, he fully supports the anti-LGBTQ bill.
Speaking to the clergy in Accra on Friday, February 28, 2025, the President reiterated that he will not support LGBTQI activities, saying it was against the core principles of Ghanaian society.
“I believe in the principles and values that only two genders exist—man and woman. And that marriage is between a man and a woman,” Mahama declared.
He told the clergy that consultations were ongoing with the Speaker of Parliament to reintroduce the Proper Family Values Bill, which seeks to criminalise LGBTQ+ activities in the country.
“It is my hope that the consultation will lead to a renewed Proper Family Values Bill,” he stated.
On the issue of the economy, the president said he remains committed to addressing the economic challenges confronting the country, promising to create jobs and restore economic stability.
“Our immediate priority is to stabilise the economy and restore confidence in Ghana. We will stabilise our currency, bring down interest rates, reduce inflation, cut the deficit, and improve our financial standing.
“A nation that cannot feed itself cannot prosper. That is why we are making aggressive interventions in the agricultural sector. By modernising farming techniques, investing in agro-processing, and supporting our farmers, we will lay a solid foundation for a prosperous future,” he added.
