It is a good thing to do. However, given the economic difficulties Ghanaians are facing around this time, the people have asked me to tell you to put the project on hold. It is your initiative and no one can take that away from you but don\u2019t use the national coffers to build the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTell him to focus on economic recovery so that in good times even if he is not able to complete it, any of his brothers could do so. That is what Ghanaians want me to tell you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo has defended the need to complete the construction of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He insists that the controversial project will signify an appreciation to God who he believes has spared the country from conflicts and plagues over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, the project whose 2023 budgetary allocation approval has been suspended will be geared toward thanking God for \u201csparing us the ravages of civil war that have bedeviled the histories of virtually all our neighbours and the outbreak of deadly mass epidemics but also as a rallying point for the entire Christian community of Ghana, which represents seventy-plus percent of the population.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He spoke during the centenary celebration of the Ga Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at the Black Star Square in Accra on December 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Parliament has blocked the approval of the GH\u20b580 million cedis allocated to fund the construction of the National Cathedral project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minority MPs on the Trades and Industry Committee on Tuesday voted an 11-10 decision to disapprove the funds for the construction of the Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explaining the Minority\u2019s hesitance to approve the fund, the Ranking Member on the Trades and Industry Committee, Armah Kofi Buah says the Committee is not satisfied with the documentation provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry of Tourism came and they couldn\u2019t give us the answers we needed. In terms of the itemised list of what that GH\u20b580 million was for. We sent them back and they brought the cathedral secretariat. Well, we asked them to give us every detail, every sub-contractor, and how those contracts were awarded. They brought us some documents unfortunately after we perused the documents, they could only account for about GH\u20b5225 million,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
