I will name and shame anyone who obstructs the passage of the anti-LGBTQ+ bill – Bagbin vows
Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has warned that he will publicly identify anyone who attempts to obstruct the passage of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025, popularly known as the anti-LGBTQ+ Bill. Addressing Parliament at the resumption of sitting on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Mr Bagbin said he remained committed to ensuring that the House revisits the legislation and completes the processes required for its passage.

"I remain committed within the applicable rules and procedures of the House to ensure that the House proceeds with the motion to rescind its earlier decision at the third reading of the bill and to have a second consideration stage of the bill with a view to concluding its processing and securing its passage during this meeting," he said. The Speaker issued a warning to members who might attempt to frustrate the process, saying he would not hesitate to identify them publicly.
