The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Gomoa Central constituency Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus, has stirred debate with his recent push for the passage of a paternity fraud bill in the legislative chamber.

In February 2026, A-Plus shared his plans to introduce a private member's bill that sought to criminalise paternity fraud in Ghana.
According to the Gomoa Central MP, he strongly believed that every woman who becomes pregnant knows the biological father of her child.
He argued that any woman's attempt to deliberately attribute a pregnancy to a man who is not the biological father should attract legal sanctions.
The politician also noted that it was unfair and immoral for a man to bear the financial and emotional responsibility for a child who was not biologically his.
Amid online discourse, A-Plus, in a later appearance on United Showbiz, clarified that his proposal was not intended to criminalise adultery.
He also added his proposed paternity fraud bill had been under consideration but had been drafted and was soon to be formally presented to parliament.

A-Plus shares Ghanaian pastor's DNA test saga
On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, social commentator and philanthropist Frieda Yayra Amable took to Facebook to declare her support for A-Plus' proposed bill following an emotional experience.
She wrote:
"With the emotions I went through personally yesterday, I will support A-plus with the paternity fraud bill for parliamentary approval. It's evil if it involves multiple children."
Her post drew the attention of the Gomoa Central MP, who claimed that an unnamed prominent Ghanaian pastor had been a victim of paternity fraud as he continued his online push for his bill to be passed.
According to A-Plus, the preacher had discovered that he was not the biological father of his children.
He wrote:
"If you’ve ever experienced this, you’ll understand exactly where I’m coming from. There is a well-known pastor in Ghana (name withheld) whose so-called children are not biologically his."

The politician also advised other Ghanaian pastors to properly ascertain whether their children were biologically theirs.
He added:
"Dear pastors, after reading this, take a moment, call your children, look at their faces carefully. You might discover something. Thank me later. Paternity fraud must be criminalised!"
