President Akufo Addo’s Harmful Promise To God To Build A Cathedral, Synonymous With Scamming Ghanaians – Bright Botchway

The National Deputy Director of the Trade and Artisans Network for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bright Botchway has indicated that the National Cathedral project has become a glaring symbol of the lack of transparency and accountability under the administration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.

He said the much-touted ambitious project was presented as a self-financing endeavor through voluntary contributions from the Christian community and philanthropic individuals.

He stressed that the reality has unfolded quite differently, with reports indicating that over $58 million of state funds have been diverted to support its construction.

“This misuse of public funds is a stark betrayal of the government’s promises and a blatant example of mismanagement.”

Multiple audits and investigative reports have exposed serious inconsistencies in the funding and expenditure of the cathedral project. The lack of clear accounting and the opaque nature of transactions have led to widespread suspicion and disillusionment among Ghanaians. He referenced that the resignation of notable board members, such as architect David Adjaye and Rev. Mensa Otabil, underscores the severity of the project’s issues. Their departures were reportedly due to concerns over transparency, governance, and the ethical implications of the project’s financing.

“If the government can mislead the public about a sacred project, it raises serious doubts about their handling of other national issues.” he retorted

The cathedral debacle is part of a broader pattern of questionable practices under the current administration. From unfulfilled campaign promises to controversial contracts and dubious policy decisions, the government’s actions have repeatedly undermined public trust. The cathedral scandal merely amplifies the already existing skepticism about the administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

The implications of this issue go beyond the cathedral. It highlights a deeper problem of governance where public officials can manipulate narratives and obscure the truth to serve their interests. This scenario sets a dangerous precedent, suggesting that if the leadership can manipulate religious sentiments and divine promises, they can easily deceive the citizenry on mundane matters.

The National Cathedral scandal serves as a wake-up call for Ghanaians to critically evaluate the actions of their leaders. It underscores the importance of demanding transparency, holding officials accountable, and fostering a culture of integrity in governance. As citizens, it is crucial to remain vigilant and ensure that those in power act in the nation’s best interest, rather than exploiting sacred commitments for political gain.
