Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo has said he will not assent to an anti-gay bill until the Supreme Court rules on its constitutionality.
Earlier, the finance ministry warned that billions of dollars in World Bank funding could be lost if it became law.

“I want to assure you that no such back-sliding will be contemplated or occasioned,” he added.
The Supreme Court challenger, however, says there was no quorum when the bill was passed.
