A judgement debt worth GHS120 million may hit Ghana over the construction of the national cathedral project, Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has revealed.

In a Facebook post, the legislator explained that Waterstone Realty Apartment Complex has dragged the Lands Commission to court for its "reckless decision" to demolish the Waterstone Realty Apartment Complex to pave way for the construction of the cathedral.

He blamed President Akufo-Addo for this development, adding that "Bad leadership created the current economic crisis."

In a writ of summons, the plaintiff, Waterston Reality Limited noted that the defendant, Lands Commission, had been directed to pay the sum $4721000 being the market value of the two-storey multipurpose building complex at the time of compulsory possession and demolition by defendants.

A further order "directed at the defendants to pay the Plaintiff the sum of $995,508.52 being the difference in terms of the established market value of the plaintiff's property on the land being the sum $4,721,000 and the actual value of the property as of May 2018 when the defendant repossessed the property," per the document shared by Mr Ablakwa.

The Lands Commission was also to pay the sum of $54,000 being loss of rent, general damages and cost including cost of engagement of solicitors.

Meanwhile, work on the construction of the national cathedral has been halted due to insufficient funds.
