The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has reaffirmed his unwavering support for the Promotion of Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill unanimously passed by Parliament.
The Speaker, in a keynote address delivered on his behalf by his Aide, Peter Bamfo, at the 2024 Suma Akwantu Kesie Festival at Suma in the Bono region Saturday, March 23, 2024, noted that the passage of the bill marked a triumph of the country’s democratic principles and a reaffirmation of its commitment to upholding traditional values.

He therefore called on the traditional leaders to continue their advocacy for the preservation of the country’s true values.
Mr. Bagbin commended the Suma Traditional Council for its visionary leadership in re-imagining the festival as a catalyst for development in the traditional area.
He further praised the Council for the initiative to establish an ultramodern social centre in honour of the late Nana Kwadwo Adinkra, who invented the Adinkra symbols.
“The Adinkra Centre will serve as a beacon of hope and opportunity, providing invaluable resources for youth training, cultural education, and socio-economic empowerment,” Speaker Bagbin said.
He also called on the people of Suma to rally behind their leaders to ensure the development of the area.
