Lawyer and devout Christian Charles Owusu Juanah has launched a spirited defence of Ghana's National Cathedral project, describing it as a sacred undertaking rooted in faith, law, and national vision-not a scandal as portrayed by its critics.
Addressing the press at the Ghana International Press Centre on Thursday 24 July, Juanah called out what he described as a "deliberate campaign of misinformation, distortion and partisan mischief" aimed at undermining a project meant to serve as a spiritual monument for the nation.
He said the Cathedral is under scrutiny-not scandal-and warned against politicising sacred ground for cheap political points. "Let this day mark not the defeat of faith by politics, but the rising of a people who fear God and will not be ashamed of His name," he said.
Juanah traced the origins of the Cathedral to a vow made in 2016 by then-presidential candidate , who pledged to build a national altar to honour God if elected.
