Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee in Parliament and also the MP for North Tongu Okudzeto Ablakwa expressed his displeasure about the interview that the finance minister granted on GTV. He wasn’t enthused at all. He doesn’t understand why the minister doesn’t address all the issues they have raised concerning the national cathedral construction. He took to his Facebook wall to express his unhappiness.
He said “The Finance Minister’s outing this evening has been an unmitigated disaster. He failed to provide any justification for the egregious constitutional breaches, particularly the cardinal affront of disbursing public funds without Parliamentary approval.
He was unable to inform Ghanaians about the total cost of President Akufo-Addo’s cathedral project. He couldn’t assist Ghanaians with answers on exactly how much is the contribution of the taxpayer and the specific amount he has unconstitutionally released so far. He was unable to provide contrary evidence to the many legal infractions we have accused the government of, which include violating our procurement laws and illegally siphoning over GHS32million to Sir David Adjaye contrary to the Architects Act – 1969 (NLCD 357).
He wasn’t, unsurprisingly, able to refute our incontrovertible fact that despite the colossal unconstitutional releases, the contractors have abandoned the project due to lack of payments, raising major concerns about the true destination of millions of taxpayer funds. As Christ demonstrated in that Jerusalem Temple when he took the whip for the first and only time, He does not tolerate the corruption and desecration of His Temple — for it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” Let us Fear God”.
The issues surrounding the construction of the cathedral keep getting murkier every day. We are all waiting to see what will finally happen.
