‘Marriage Is Between A Man And A Woman’ – Mahama On Anti-LGBTQ Bill

President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his unwavering support for the Anti-LGBTQ Bill, firmly asserting that only two genders—male and female—exist.

Speaking to the clergy in Accra on Friday, February 28, 2025, the President reaffirmed his commitment to what he described as 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.

He further disclosed that consultations were ongoing with the Speaker of Parliament to reintroduce the Proper Family Values Bill, which seeks to criminalize LGBTQ+ activities in the country.

“It is my hope that the consultation will lead to a renewed Proper Family Values Bill,” he stated.

The bill, which prohibits the promotion, advocacy, and funding of LGBTQ+ activities, was passed by the eighth Parliament but did not receive presidential assent under the previous administration of Nana Akufo-Addo.

Economic Recovery and National Development
Beyond addressing social and moral concerns, President Mahama also outlined his administration’s commitment to tackling 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 was 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 added.
