Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu
The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has announced that government has officially dissolved the National Cathedral Secretariat initiated by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
According to a report cited by citinewsroom.com and monitored by Ghanaweb, Felix Kwakye Ofosu announced that the government will no longer allocate funds for the project.
“There are outstanding issues regarding the procurement processes, outstanding payments that the contractor is demanding but nobody will answer because there is no National Cathedral.
“It remains a worthless home. As a point of determination, a decision is going to be made but what is certain is that President Mahama is not going to put millions of taxpayers’ money into that project”, he noted.
The National Cathedral project was first envisioned in 2017 to serve as a national Christian worship center and a symbol of Ghana’s religious heritage.
However, it has faced widespread criticisms over the handling of its finances and execution coupled with allegations of financial mismanagement and corruption.
