Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has reaffirmed his unwavering support for the “Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values, Bill” unanimously passed by Parliament.
The Speaker made the remarks in a keynote address delivered on his behalf by his Aid, Mr Peter Bamfo, at the 2024 Suma Akwantu Kesie Festival in Suma in the Bono Region, a statement issued by the Media Relations Department of Parliament, copied to the Ghana News Agency, said on Wednesday.
The passage of the Bill marked a triumph of the country’s democratic principles and a reaffirmation of its commitment to upholding traditional values, he said, and called on the traditional leaders to continue their advocacy for the preservation of the country’s true values.
He commended the Suma Traditional Council for its visionary leadership in reimagining the festival as a catalyst for development in the traditional area.
He praised the Council for the initiative to establish an ultramodern social centre in honour of the late Nana Kwadwo Adinkra, who invented the Adinkra symbols.
“The Adinkra Centre will serve as a beacon of hope and opportunity, providing invaluable resources for youth training, cultural education, and socio-economic empowerment,” Speaker Bagbin said.
He called on the people of Suma to rally behind their leaders to ensure the development of the area.
