In order to overcome these obstacles, the Ministry urged the President to meet with religious organizations to talk about the ramifications of signing the legislation and to build a strong alliance and structure for assisting important development projects.
“The President may engage in a structured manner with local conservative entities, such as religious organizations and faith-based bodies, in order to explain the financial consequences of the ‘Anti-LGBTQ’ Bill’s passing and to establish a more robust coalition and framework for endorsing development initiatives that are anticipated to be impacted.”
It further stated that “the President may have to defer assenting to the Bill until the court rules on the legal issues tabled by key national stakeholders (CSOs and CHRAJ).”
The anti-LGBTQ+ measure, also known as the newly adopted Promotion of Human Sexual Rights and Family Values measure, made it through several stages in Parliament.
