The Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Bernard Bediako Baidoo, has defended President John Dramani Mahama against criticisms regarding the handling of LGBTQ-related legislation.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, he argued that there was no bill before the President to assent to upon assuming office, placing responsibility on the previous administration led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for failing to sign the bill passed by Parliament.
He maintained that President Mahama is following due process on the matter, emphasizing that the issue is still ongoing and should be allowed to take its course.
According to the MP, the President remains focused on delivering his plans for the country and will not be disgraced over the issue.
“When it was not even a court matter, the President stated it was related to this same country. Is there anything that precedes the president’s actions? What do you expect from him? At the time, we had a lawyer serving as president who insisted it was not a court matter. Is this the same NPP making these claims? What do you expect the President to do? He said we should follow the process, and it is currently ongoing. If it fails and he offers reasons, then you can voice your concerns,” Mr. Bediako Baidoo stated.
