On Tuesday, October 8, thousands protested the ongoing delay in approving Ghana's anti-gay bill, officially known as the Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill.
The demonstration, led by activists and community leaders, aimed to urge the president to sign the bill, which has been pending since Parliament passed it on February 28.
The delay has been exacerbated by a Supreme Court ruling on July 17 that postponed judgments on related cases.
Samuel Nartey George, the bill's lead advocate and MP for Ningo-Prampram, emphasized that the Chief Justice could expedite the resolution process to avoid prolonged delays in justice.
