If Akufo-Addo Doesn’t Sign Anti-Gay Bill; I’ll Sue Him – Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor

One of the sponsors of the recently passed anti-LGBTQ+ bill by Parliament, Rockson Dafeamekpor, has declared his intention to take legal action against President Akufo-Addo if he fails to assent to the bill within 14 days of receiving it from Parliament.

The Member of Parliament for South Dayi expressed his readiness to pursue the matter in the Supreme Court to compel President Akufo-Addo to fulfil his constitutional duties.

In an interview on JoyNews’ AM Show on Thursday, March 7, Dafeamekpor emphasized that he and his fellow sponsors are unwavering in their commitment to seeing the bill enacted into law.

“As soon as we remit this to his office, time will begin to count and after 14 days if he doesn’t exercise responsibility, I’m going back to the Supreme Court to compel him to perform his constitutional function. I will suit the President,” he said.
