Member of Parliament for the North Tongu constituency in the Volta region, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is reminding President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo of his pledge to commission the National Cathedral on March 6, 2024.

As we approach the specified date, Ablakwa notes with concern that the project remains abandoned, despite the President's assurances. He attributes this delay to what he describes as a significant diversion of resources.

Ablakwa highlights the government's initial commitment to not utilise taxpayer funds for the project, yet reveals that approximately GHC 339 million of taxpayer money has been expended on it.

“They said that this would be a private initiative led by the churches and the president’s personal donations, only for a discovery to be made by me,” he said.

Ablakwa mentioned specific individuals whom he alleges diverted a significant amount of funds allocated for the project.

He commended the clergy members who resigned from the cathedral board, stating that their early departure indicated a wise recognition of the situation.
