Professor Ransford Gyampo, a Senior lecturer of Political Science at the University of Ghana has urged new President John Mahama to withhold ex President Akufo-Addo's End of Service Entitlements. According to the lecturer in an Open Letter to President Mahama on the Botched National Cathedral, the money from the ex president's end of service should be used to fill up the cathedral hole. Prof Gyampo urged the new President not to worry about starting or completing the Cathedral project as it is not his responsibility or promise to God to build a Cathedral but rather Akufo-Addo's. Prof Gyampo said President Mahama should be only concerned about "how to cover that expensive hole, using Mr Akufo Addo's end of service entitlements to settle part of the bill, and how to bring to book all those culpable of causing financial loss to the state." Read Prof Gyampo's Full Letter to the President Dear President Mahama, Please, did you promise God that you will build a National Cathedral for Him, should you be elected again as President?
Are you the Son of Mr Akufo Addo, like Solomon, the son of David who built a temple for God when his father wasn't permitted to do so?
Is the construction of a National Cathedral a priority concern for national development at this time that many have been impoverished because of greed, loot and unprecedented bad governance by your predecessor?
If your answers to the above are a NO, then please cover that expensive hole, using the end of service benefits of Mr Akufo Addo to defray part of the cost and let people culpable be charged for causing financial loss to the state.
