The Centre for Public Awareness and Opinion has petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to investigate former President Akufo-Addo for causing financial loss to the state through the National Cathedral project.
The civil society organisation believes the project was a personal agenda of the former leader and had no national interest, adding that it caused financial loss to the state, contrary to Section 179A of the Criminal and Other Offences Act 29 (1960).
CenPOA posited that although the former president announced that his government would not use state resources for the project, he lied and committed state resources for it.
In their view, the use of state resources to fund personal religious vows constitutes an abuse of executive power and a blatant disregard for Ghana's financial well-being.
