The member of parliament of North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has exposed the Akufo-Addo government for continuing paying staff of the National Cathedral Secretariat.
According to the Chair of John Mahama’s ORAL team, the National Cathedral Secretariat is still being paid despite CHRAJ declaring the project illegal and recommending prosecution officials.
In a social media post on X accompanied by proof of payment to the National Cathedral Secretariat Ablakwa wrote, “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”.
“Shockingly, these fat salaries continue to be paid by the outgoing intransigent Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration despite a November CHRAJ report declaring the cathedral project illegal and recommending the prosecution of officials associated with that unlawful enterprise”.
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 because he was embarrassed.
He added, “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”.
