These comments came in the midst of discussions surrounding the passage of the anti-LGBTQI+ bill.

The bill, which was passed on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, awaits presidential assent to become law. However, on March 5, journalist and lawyer Richard Dela Sky filed a lawsuit against Parliament at the Supreme Court regarding the bill's passage.

The lawsuit seeks to prevent President Akufo-Addo from assenting to the bill and also seeks to halt the presentation of the bill to the President for assent by the Speaker of Parliament and the Clerk to Parliament.
