A new National Democratic Congress (NDC) will conduct a comprehensive investigation and forensic audit of the National Cathedral project, former President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed.
Mr. Mahama asserted that the project lacks transparency and accountability, hence the reason for the audit.
He assured Ghanaians that his new administration will scrutinise every aspect of the project.
He explained that the forensic audit would involve a detailed examination of financial transactions, procurement processes, and resource utilisation to identify any irregularities or instances of corruption and to hold those responsible accountable.
“At the time this national cathedral came up, it was somebody’s personal commitment to God. And we were assured that public funds were not going to be used for the national cathedral. Unfortunately, we hear that 300 and something million has gone into it,” Mahama said.
“Where did those payments go? Were they justified? Who did they go to? These are all things that we have to unravel. And I think that that is the first thing we will do before we even decide what to do with that huge pit.”
“So first, let’s investigate and do a forensic audit and if people have, you know, illegally and unlawfully taken the money of the people of Ghana. They must be made to refund that money.”
