MPs in Ghana invited by UK Parliament for a meeting regarding anti-gay bill
Ghana Members of Parliament have been invited by the UK Parliament to have a meeting over the anti-gay bill. Chair of the Committee, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi, made the revelation. He told TV3 in an exclusive interview monitored by Apexnews-Gh that the lawmakers will be leaving Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on Sunday June 12 and then walk into the meeting on Monday June 13. “The invitation came to the Speaker and the Speaker forwarded it to the Committee. Four members of the committee including myself and the ranking member will be attending this important meeting. We take off on Sunday, we were supposed to have gone today but because of flight arrangement we will go on Sunday so we walk into the meeting Monday morning and by Wednesday we are done,” he said on Saturday June 11. The controversial bill has divided opinion in the Ghana. While some, particularly the religious and traditional groupings, supported the Bill and hopeful of its passing, others say it could incur the wrath of the international community against Ghana. The bill is being promoted by Ningo Prampram lawmaker Samuel Nartey George and some of his colleague legislators.
Dr. Bawumia inspect ongoing works on the 9.5km road linking Misio and Wuyima in the Mamprugu Moaduri district
As part of my visit to the North East Region I spent time to inspect ongoing works on the 9.5km road linking Misio and Wuyima in the Mamprugu Moaduri district as well as the 210 meter bridge linking Misio to Wuyima. When completed, this will shorten the three and half hours drive time from Walewale to Yagaba to forty minutes and also make it possible for commuters to travel from Walewale to Wa without going through Bolgatanga. It would also open up the vast agricultural potential of the area. The sub structures of the bridge are complete and as soon as the raining season is over the metal layovers will be latched. This is the first time after independence that any government is attempting to fix this bridge and we are grateful to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for this. The contractor (Ghacos) has done an excellent job. Apexnewsgh.com
