*Parliament Rescinds Third Reading Of Human Sexual Rights And Family Values Bill Over Minor Inconsistencies*

 

 

Parliament has rescinded its earlier decision taken on Friday, 29th May, 2026 in respect of the Third Reading of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, 2025.

 

The decision was taken after the Legislation Drafting Department, which drafts all decisions taken by the House, detected some inconsistencies during its tracking exercise.

 

Explaining the move on the floor of the House, the Rt Hon Speaker Alban Sumana Bagbin said the Department is responsible for compiling what Parliament decides into a Bill.

 

He added that,  in the course of tracking, the drafters found some inconsistencies in what had been decided and what was to be compiled as a Bill.

 

"It was just minor errors. The drafters who put them right," he said.

 

He however stressed that once they are decisions of the House, the drafters cannot tamper with the decision of the House.

 

"That is why it has been brought back for the House to do the proper thing. So that is why it is being brought back for us to rescind the earlier decision of the Third Reading. And then reconcile those inconsistencies. And that is why you have the Bill back before you," he explained.
