North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has asserted that Ghanaians must acknowledge the highly irresponsible model chosen for the national cathedral project, labeling it as the most reckless approach seen in any national endeavor.

Ablakwa highlighted the demolition of significant structures, including the Scholarship Secretariat, passport head office, Judicial Training Institute, Judges' bungalows, and the residence of the Malian ambassador.

He warned of potential diplomatic tensions due to the latter's demolition.

Ablakwa emphasized that the push for an inquiry into the stalled project, supported by a private member's motion, is driven by concerns over irregularities, procurement breaches, lawlessness, and conflicts of interest.

The establishment of an ad-hoc committee by Parliament to investigate the National Cathedral project and related matters aligns with Ablakwa's efforts. He clarified that the intent isn't opposition to a place of worship but rather addressing the project's governance and priorities.

In contrast, the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, asserted that institutions affected by demolitions had been fully compensated and provided with alternative lands for relocation.

He dismissed claims of inadequate compensation, stating that affected institutions were operational in various parts of Accra.
