Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudeto Ablakwa, has provided a startling revelation with regards to the National Cathedral project which has seen construction works suspended due to lack of funds.
According to Mr Ablakwa, payment vouchers intercepted by his outfit indicate that the Consultant of the project deemed controversial, Sir David Adjaye, was paid an amount of GHS32.07 million for opening bids and interviewing contractors.
This amount, per the document sighted by The Independent Ghana, was paid in 2021.
“Latest intercepted payment vouchers reveal how David Adjaye was paid an incredible GHS32.07million on February 18, 2021 just for opening bids and interviewing contractors for Akufo-Addo’s sleazy National Cathedral project,” he wrote on August 14.
He added that “Architects of considerable renown and project management experts I have engaged are in total shock.” I can’t wait for judgement day after 7th December, 2024.”
Mr Ablakwa further registered his support for the NDC flagbearer, John Mahama’s resolve to ensure the law goes after every government official who has in one way or another caused financial loss to the station through corruption.
“This is another reason why I am in total agreement with incoming President John Mahama that if we deal ruthlessly with blatant corruption and reckless dissipation of state resources such as the National Cathedral heist, we can comfortably fund the NDC’s No-Fees-Stress Policy of paying admission fees for first year tertiary students. Corruption and State Capture shall surely be defeated!”
In January 2023, the Executive Director of the National Cathedral Secretariat, Dr. Paul Poku Mensah, revealed that the Akufo-Addo government had spent a whopping amount of almost GH¢340 million on the construction of the controversial national cathedral by the close of December 2022.
