Asante Akyedie central member of parliament, Hon Kwame Anyimadu Antwiwaa has come out to reply the minority of their excessive action towards the acceptance of the LGBTQI bill into making it a law. Chairman of the constitutional, legal and parliamentary affairs committee, Kwame Anyimadu has expressed his concern over the excessive pressure from his colleagues in fighting the LGBTQI bill.
He wondered why his colleagues are rather giving him and his team pressure in tackling this case as they know how hard and time it needs before they can arrive to the final destination of the matter. He has ensured that he is not happy how they are going by things.
Speaking in interview with 3FM, on Friday June 10, he said
“…If they continue like this, I think there are other lawyers in the House, if they think that personally Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi is not making the bill work, I will resign as the chairman and they get another person to proceed with the bill. He said. He went ahead to add more to his opinion about the issue.
“This is a Private Members Bill, I do not know why the urgency about this. There is already a law under our Criminal Offences Act about unnatural canal knowledge. People even think that this bill, we are trying to actually give a right to the lesbians and the gay community, it is rather the opposite. What they are asking is that they should be punished up to an imprisonment of five years even if you associate.” We have however asks for time from his colleagues in parliament linking to this case especially, Ningo Prampram lawmaker Samuel Nartey George and some of his colleague legislators.
