The Founder and President of IMANI Centre for Policy and Education, Mr. Franklin Cudjoe, has also added his voice on the ongoing discussions on the National Cathedral.
According to Mr. Franklin Cudjoe, the timing of GH¢25M seed money for National Cathedral, is very worrying.
Speaking on Citi News, Mr. Cudjoe said the release of such an amount as 25 million Ghana cedis as seed money; for the construction of the National Cathedral “…is evidence of the government’s misplaced priorities”.
He added that, “The timing of this contribution is quite worrying. To think that we have all the challenges we have right now and to dish out GH¢25 million. The fact that we do not have clear details as to which companies are benefitting and whether they procured the services correctly and all of that is quite worrying”.
The IMANI Africa President again stated that, “Just tells you that the person crying that we should tighten our belts is, unfortunately, being wasteful. I do not know where we are going to get our monies from. It will short-change some other expenditure plans that we already must have approved”.
These comments by Franklin Cudjo came, following the recent circulation of a letter, indicating the release of an additional GH¢25 million, from national coffers for the project as additional seed money, when we have been told by the government, that the national cathedral project is to be financed largely by donations from the Christian community.
