Meanwhile, Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has vowed to criminalise LGBTQI during his speakership tenure as a coalition of MPs and religious groups against LGBTQI presented the private members' motion to criminalise the act.

According to Bagbin, parliament has the natural obligation to protect the customs and religious beliefs of citizens, especially in the wake of foreign imposition.

The religious coalition backing the private members' motion includes the catholic Bishops conference, Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, the national house of chiefs, and the coalition of Muslim organisations.
