Ghanaian Members of Parliament have been spotted in a video praying hard against LGBTQ+ ahead of an introduction of a private members' bill to criminalize it in the country.

The video that was shared on the verified Facebook handle of TV3 Ghana saw the MPs praying in tongues and has since garnered massive reactions from Ghanaians.

The lawmakers were praying for the bill to be passed successfully without any hitches, in order that LGBT is nipped in the bud in Ghana.

See the video below:

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.
