The process, according to him, is being hindered by the influence of some Majority MPs. These MPs, he alleges, are encouraging the promotion of LGBT activities nationwide. Samuel Nartey George, the MP for Ningo-Prampram, made this claim while addressing the media in Parliament. He asserted that any attempts by the Majority caucus to dilute the legislation will be resisted by the bill’s supporters.
Sam George urged those who have been swayed by proponents of LGBTQ rights to reject such influences. He warned that they would continue to fight for the bill’s passage. He hinted at potentially naming those who are obstructing the bill’s progress, although he held back due to respect for his co-sponsors. He expressed frustration at the continued attempts to stall the bill.

However, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, the chairman of the Constitutional, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, has disputed Sam George’s allegations. He stated that he hasn’t been instructed to proceed with the bill’s consideration. He pointed out that this isn’t the only bill at the consideration stage, citing the Intestate Succession Bill as an example. He questioned the urgency of starting the bill’s amendments, given that they couldn’t be completed before the meeting’s end.
