Former President John Mahama has promised to retrieve any misused public funds in the building of the National Cathedral if he is re-elected.
During a media briefing on Sunday, July 7th, 2024, Mahama condemned the misappropriation of public funds for the construction of a religious monument.
“Building the house of God is something we should all support. I have personally contributed to my church, but I do not condone stealing in the name of God,”Mahama stated. “This is precisely what has happened with the National Cathedral.”
Nonetheless, the NDC flagbearer noted that some members of the Board of Trustees have resigned and called for a forensic audit of the project
“They are demanding a forensic audit because this was someone’s personal promise to God, and we were assured that no public money would be used. However, some public funds have indeed been spent on it,” he explained.
He stressed the importance of holding individuals accountable and transparent for any financial wrongdoing.
“These matters must be thoroughly investigated, and a forensic audit must be conducted. Any misappropriated funds must be refunded,” Mahama asserted.
