General News of Wednesday, 8 April 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Bernard Bediako Baidoo, says it is too early to accuse President John Dramani Mahama of failing to act on the anti-LGBTQ+ bill, insisting that the legislative process is still ongoing in Parliament. Because of the separation of powers, the president cannot dictate to Parliament what to do,” he said. He emphasised that under Ghana’s democratic system, the president cannot interfere in parliamentary processes and must wait until the bill is fully passed and presented to him. When they are done, and the bill is presented to him, then he can make a decision. Based on this, Bernard Baidoo believes calls for an apology from President John Dramani Mahama are premature, insisting that any accountability should only come after Parliament completes its work and the bill is formally presented for assent.
