Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
John Dramani Mahama, a former president of Ghana, has weighed in on the continuing debate over building the National Cathedral.
John Mahama argued in a lengthy Facebook post that there are more urgent demands that should take precedence than building the National Cathedral.
He wrote on Facebook;
“The public funding of the national cathedral, particularly at this time, must stop. Being a Christian myself, and deeply appreciative of the centrality of God in nation building, I agree with most Ghanaians who believe that the project cannot constitute a top priority of government at this moment, warranting further injection of scarce public funds.
Because of the non-transparency of the processes and procurements associated with the project, I believe that the cathedral project should bevalue-for-money value for money audit in other to open the way for believers who wish to contribute to its construction to do so.”
