Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has called on President Akufo-Addo to take immediate action to disband the National Cathedral Board of Trustees.

He also calls for a comprehensive forensic audit of the controversial project.

This appeal comes in the wake of the recent resignations of Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and Rev. Eastwood Anaba from the National Cathedral Board of Trustees.

Their resignations were based on the board's failure to appoint an independent accounting firm to audit all public funds contributed to the National Cathedral project.

This development marks the departure of four clergymen from the board, including Pastor Mensa Otabil and Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. In light of these events, the North Tongu MP emphasizes that there is no better time than now to dissolve the Board of Trustees and initiate a forensic audit of the project.

“Let me be honest with you, in an ideal situation, the Board should be dissolved and we should be having a full-scale probe. There should be a forensic audit into the activities of the project,” he said on JoyNews.

Anti-corruption advocate, Edem Senanu, stresses that any action taken regarding the National Cathedral Board of Trustees should be handled with caution due to the presence of high-profile individuals on the board.

Nonetheless, he underscores that the National Cathedral project is grappling with substantial credibility concerns.

“…obviously, there is a crisis situation when you have four members existing. It is time to pause and do a critical review of where this whole project stands,” he stressed.
