The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban S.K. Bagbin, has announced that the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2021, has completed all required procedural steps under Parliament’s Standing Orders and is now set to be presented to the House for further consideration.

In a communiqué delivered on the floor of Parliament, the Speaker disclosed that the bill will be routed through the Business Committee, which will schedule it for debate and possible action by the House.

Rt. Hon. Bagbin stressed the need for accuracy and responsibility in public commentary on the proposed legislation, cautioning that some Members of Parliament have engaged in discussions without a full understanding of the bill’s procedural status.

He warned that such commentary could misinform the public and create confusion about the legislative process.

According to the Speaker, the bill has been formally reintroduced by nine Members of Parliament and has since undergone review by the Office of the Attorney-General.

It has also been examined by the Committee on Private Members’ Bills and Private Members’ Motions, in line with parliamentary requirements.

He emphasised that all steps taken so far fully comply with Parliament’s rules, thereby clearing the way for the bill to be included on the House’s official business agenda.

The announcement comes amid renewed public interest and national debate over the bill, with Parliament expected to determine its next course of action once the Business Committee schedules it for consideration.
