The Catholic Bishop of Wa, the Most Reverend Richard K. Baawobr, has urged Parliament to enact laws against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) life in the country.
He said Ghanaian customs and the church recognised marriage to be between a man and a woman and not between a man and a man or a woman and a woman, adding that “for the church, this is morally wrong, as it goes against the purpose of marriage”.
The Most Rev. Baawobr also reminded Parliament of the call by the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference not to concede to any external pressure to legalise LGBTQ in the country.

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has urged the Speaker of Parliament, Mr Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, not to be partisan.
He explained that although Mr Bagbin was an NDC member, his new position placed him above NDC issues.
“I believe that even though your position places you above partisanship, NDC is in your DNA and we cannot disengage you from the party that has nurtured you from being an MP to the position of speaker,” he stated.

Mr Ampofo was making a statement at a thanksgiving Mass in honour of Mr Bagbin at Sombo in the Nadowli-Kaleo constituency last Thursday.

Ugandan MPs have until April 30 to return iPads issued to them in 2016 or pay a residual fee at the end of their five-year tenure.
In a letter addressed to the legislators, the Clerk to Parliament, Jane Kibirige, said parliament has valued the iPads for disposal depending on the type and year of purchase, reports the
Daily Monitor.
Kibirige said MPs who are unable to return the gadget can purchase them at a disposal price set by the House or risk an amount corresponding to the iPad being deducted from their emolument to recover the cost.
