President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his dedication to what he refers to as Ghana’s enduring family and moral values, asserting that gender is established at birth and that the family unit is the cornerstone of the nation.
While addressing leaders of the Christian Council of Ghana during their courtesy visit to him in Accra on Tuesday, November 18, President Mahama made it clear that his views are in harmony with those of the Christian Council regarding issues of family and social values.
“A person’s gender is established at birth, and the family is the cornerstone of our nation. This is our stance. Therefore, there are no doubts or ambiguities regarding our beliefs,” he stated.
He further mentioned that his opinions are in agreement with the position held by the Christian Council. “I believe that we are entirely in sync with the Christian Council concerning your beliefs,” he remarked.
President Mahama also supported the Speaker of Parliament’s request for the bill currently under consideration to be reintroduced and discussed to facilitate any necessary amendments or clarifications.
“We concur with the Speaker to reintroduce the bill and allow Parliament to deliberate on it, and then if there are any amendments or adjustments that need to be made,” he expressed.
He underscored that the will of Parliament and the citizens of Ghana will determine the final decision.
“If the Parliament of the people of Ghana approves the bill, votes on it, and passes it, and it is presented to me as President, I will sign it,” he affirmed.
