That is smart way of avoiding giving assent to the bill by Mahama. The speaker and Sam George including yourself Mahama didn't do broader consultation before asking Akufo Addo to sign? Some of us are watching you Mahama. You can fool some of the people at a time but you can't fool all the people at all times.

Felicia, shallow mindedness is eating into our morale fiber. Who has mentioned Bawumia here? We are tackling intellectual discourse. Let's learn to deal with the topic or subject matter.
We have to remind Mahama about the ministry he set up some time ago. Ministry of Women, Children, Gender and Social Protection. Which other members of our society need that protection apart from the physically challenged? Not one single bill was passed in their favor. I stand to be corrected.

Bawumia is not yet confirmed flag bearer of NPP yet some idiots are having sleepless nights. Why mention his name when the topic has nothing to do with him. You will definitely die early for your hatred for the man.

I never thought Mahama was going to sign that Bill in its present form. The problem with Akufo Addo and the NPP was, no intelligent reason was given for not signing the Bill. All we heard was there was a challenge to the Bill in court. Anyway, Ghanaians have lived and existed without 'TRUMU PUBLICITY' and will continue to do same. Well, except if you are Asamoah Gyan!

Mahama is the big gay practitioner. Have you forgotten his close relationship with Andrew Solomon to the extent of sharing a bed with him? The video was scattered on all social media platforms. This Mahama guy is a criminal gangster and he will definitely be exposed by his own words and deeds. Folks do you remember his utterances on political platforms about his chastisement of the Npp and President Akuffo Addo over his unwillingness to sign the LGBT+ bill? He has now turned round calling for broader consultations before the bill can be promulgated. Did this criminal call for such consultations before asking President Akuffo Addo to sign the bill? Posterity will judge those who voted against the Npp.

He ducked the question. She asked him two clear questions. He ducked both of them. The first question was, if that bill comes to your desk, will you sign it? He said, oh, but the bill was not signed the last time so it has to go through the parliamentary process again bla bla bla. The question was WILL YOU SIGN IT. We can see clearly that he's chickened out. He won't. He can't. Just like Akufo Addo couldn't.

The second question was are you concerned about donor pressure to cut funding should such a bill be passed. Again he ducked the question. Preferring to answer a question that was not asked instead. He talked about how it's the prerogative of the donor's to take that decision (NO SHIT!!) and how we all have different cultural values bla bla bla. If it was an exam, he would have scored a F.

There is a difference between campaigning and governing. Ghanaian public should get that straight. We are a poor country that dances to the tunes of our donor masters. Independence my foot.

Mahama Ghanaians are not fools. You urged Akufo Addo to sign the bill in its present form before leaving office. What has changed? Where is Sam George now? Where are the NDC advocates who led the preparation of the bill? Why are they all quiet? SAM GEORGE IS A BIG CON MAN WHO TRAVELED THE GLOBE DEFENDING THIS BILL AND BECAME AN INTERNATIONAL HERO FOR IT. Is Sam George now so fulfilled as to ignore the new tag of an international villain and hypocrite?

Lier and a confident trickster, you knew the bill presented to parliament was not borne out of a broader consultation, yet you impressed upon Nana Addo to sign.

I've lost every respect for Mahama. Ghanaians have spoken clear and loud enough of their abhorrence to this LGBTQ+ nonsense. What further consultations do you need again? You're just preparing the grounds to avoid presenting the bill and signing it into law. Double-tongued man. You're very disappointing.

Mr President, you know for sure that is not everyone who will support the bill and I pray that you adopt what is already there rather than starting it all over again. What the CSO's will have been said already, the religious bodies have also said what they want to say, I everyone who matter in this bill has already contributed. Don't let people get you just adopt and lay it before parliament for the sake of procedure.

Do we need to consult on something humanly and spiritually disgusting that requires a 'yes' or 'no' answer? Politrickcians are same with one father indeed.

Trumu, trumu Mahama is confused and talking rubbish. How many decades do Ghanaians need for this so called stakeholder consultation on this insane satanic practice. Majority of Ghanaians have decided against this LGBTQ+ already. What education is Mahama talking about? At best the said education should be used to complement the law.
