North Tongu Lawmaker Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has said that the 58 million Dollars spent on the National Cathedral project must be retrieved. This follows the report of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) on the project, a report Mr Ablakwa said has far-reaching consequences.
Speaking on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, November 30, he said "Even though I have reservations about portions of the report let nobody downplay the far-reaching consequences of this report." "This report is explosive, damning, staggering, it has far-reaching implications," he stressed.
He further stated that "The 58m dollars, we must demand a refund of our money because we can't spend 58 million dollars on an illegality." CHRAJ had called for the cancellation of the construction of the National Cathedral by Ribade Company Ltd.
The report emerged after Mr Ablakwa on January 16, 2023, petitioned the Commission to investigate the state funds paid to JNS Talent Centre Ltd by the Controller and Accountant General Department and the National Cathedral of Ghana.
