President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his unwavering support for the Anti-LGBTQ Bill, emphasizing the importance of upholding traditional Ghanaian values.
Speaking to the clergy in Accra on Friday, February 28, 2025, Mahama reiterated his commitment to 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, receiving nods of approval from religious leaders in attendance.
The President also disclosed that consultations are ongoing with the Speaker of Parliament to reintroduce the Proper Family Values Bill, which seeks to criminalize LGBTQ+ activities.
“It is my hope that the consultation will lead to a renewed Proper Family Values Bill,” he added.
In addition to addressing social and moral concerns, President Mahama outlined his administration’s plan to tackle Ghana’s economic challenges.
He emphasized a clear plan to restore financial stability, create jobs, and ensure economic resilience.
“Our immediate priority is to stabilize the economy and restore confidence in Ghana. We will stabilize our currency, bring down interest rates, reduce inflation, cut the deficit, and improve our financial standing,” he assured.
Mahama also highlighted the importance of agriculture in achieving economic self-sufficiency, stating that his government is focused on strengthening the sector.
“A nation that cannot feed itself cannot prosper. That is why we are making aggressive interventions in the agricultural sector. By modernizing farming techniques, investing in agro-processing, and supporting our farmers, we will lay a solid foundation for a prosperous future,” he stated.
