Former President John Dramani Mahama has waded into calls for the government to suspend the national cathedral project.
The former leader believes the project must be stopped considering the current state of Ghana’s economy.
According to him, although he is a Christian and believes in the centrality of God in nation-building, he supports persons who have asked the government to stop the project
In his view, the project cannot constitute a top priority of the government at this time.
He wrote “The public funding of the national cathedral, particularly at this time, must stop. Being a Christian myself, and deeply appreciative of the centrality of God in nation-building, I agree with most Ghanaians who believe that the project cannot constitute a top priority of government at this moment, warranting further injection of scarce public funds.
Because of the non-transparency of the processes and procurements associated with the project, I believe that the cathedral project should be subjected to a value for money audit in other to open the way for believers who wish to contribute to its construction to do so.”
