Kwaku Sintim-Misa, a veteran broadcaster, has taken issue with the Akufo Addo government’s stance on continuing to build the National Cathedral of Ghana.
In an interview with Starr FM on March 7, 2024, KSM expressed his confusion about the government’s desire to finish the cathedral at the same time as many Ghanaians are hungry to death and are forced to lie on the bare floors of hospitals due to a lack of beds.
He disproved the claim that God would be more pleased when the National Cathedral was completed, saying that God would be more pleased when the hungry had food to eat and the sick had beds to lie on.
“The cathedral is so unnecessary with the capital ‘U’; so unnecessary. When Ghana has now been able to exploit its own gold and develop like Dubai… Johannesburg, then let’s go build some cathedral if you want. It’s a luxury thing.
“It is F-A-L-S-E, false. And this is the only thing I’m willing to debate any man of God on. That God will give you extra blessing because you’ve built the cathedral. No, God will bless you because you are now building hospitals to save mothers from lying on the floor when they are giving birth. That’s when God blesses you,” he said.
KSM added, “You know what I’m saying? God will bless you because you are now taking care of starving children who are going to sleep without food. That’s when God will bless you, but this whole notion of God will bless you because you have built a cathedral worth hundreds of millions of dollars… I’m sorry.”
The veteran broadcaster also said that people claiming that building the cathedral would please God are making him “a petty God.”
He declared that God is unconcerned with the locations of worship, as well as the day and hour of service.
“We have made God a petty god. Sadly, the God that we serve, or most people serve, is not the God I serve. The God I serve is not petty.”
We've made God a petty God by thinking we can build a million-dollar cathedral to please him – KSM disagrees with building a national cathedral when kids are starving. #StarrChat #GHOneTV #Bolaray pic.twitter.com/E5b6NokjsA
