The member of parliament of North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has revealed President Akufo-Addo is embarrassed to report to the nation on his US$58million Cathedral fiasco.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa noted President Akufo-Addo was loudly silent on his scandalous US$ 58 million cathedral pit during yesterday’s State of the Nation Address.
He wrote on X, “A legacy project he once described as his priority of priorities, it is most insulting to suffering Ghanaian taxpayers, and the height of insensitivity for his government to continue paying staff of the National Cathedral Secretariat”.
Ablakwa further revealed the National Cathedral Secretariat is still being paid despite CHRAJ declaring the project illegal and recommending the prosecution officials.
He revealed, “Intercepted payment records confirm that only 4 days ago, staff of the notoriously wasteful National Cathedral Secretariat were paid between GHS20,721.00 and GHS29,838.00 each as their December salary”.
“President Akufo-Addo is obviously too embarrassed to report to the nation on his US$58million National Cathedral fiasco but he should have been more embarrassed superintending over reckless salary payments which constitute an unconscionable and unmitigated financial loss to the state after 33 months since the world’s most expensive pit was abandoned”, he detailed.
Ablakwa further stated there will be no January 2025 salary payment for the National Cathedral Secretariat after the wise decision of Ghanaians to hand out a humiliating defeat to the NPP in the December elections.
