The Centre for Public Awareness and Opinion (CenPOA) has petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to investigate former President Akufo-Addo for allegedly causing financial loss to the state through the National Cathedral project.
The civil society organisation argues that the project was a personal initiative of the former president, with no national interest, and that it resulted in financial loss to the state, contrary to Section 179A of the Criminal and Other Offences Act 29 (1960).
CenPOA contends that although the former president publicly stated that his government would not use state resources for the project, he ultimately committed public funds to it, contradicting his initial claim.
According to the organisation, the use of state resources to fulfill a personal religious vow constitutes an abuse of executive power and a blatant disregard for Ghana's financial well-being.
