Attorney-General, Godfred Dame has written to the Chief Justice, recommending full media coverage of proceedings on the anti-LGBTQ cases before the Supreme Court and the High Court.
The recommendation comes in the wake of high public interest in the controversial issue of LGBTQ criminalization in Ghana after Parliament passed the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill (the Anti-LGBTQ Bill) in February.
“It is my respectful view that the transparency to be engendered by a coverage of the proceedings would be in the best interest of the administration of justice,” Dame wrote in a letter on Tuesday, May 7.
