Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini, has described the construction of the National Cathedral as a grand deception.
This comment by the former lawmaker comes after the resignation of two members of the Board of trustees for the National Cathedral.
The Founder and General Overseer, United Denominations of Action Chapel Churches Worldwide, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and President of the Eastwood Anaba Ministries, Rev. Eastwood Anaba have resigned from the Board of Trustees overseeing the construction of the National Cathedral in Ghana.
The National Cathedral, a project initiated to serve as a national place of worship and a symbol of unity and pride for Ghanaians, has been a subject of debate and controversy since its inception.
In a statement signed by both Archbishop Duncan-Williams and Reverend Anaba, they explained that the decision to resign was due to the failure of the government to appoint an independent accounting firm to audit all public funds contributed to the National Cathedral.
“Despite our prayers, best hopes and wishes, unfortunately, a needed audit to help restore public confidence and trust in this consequential project has not been enacted to the best of our knowledge. Since January 2023, we awaited news to no avail, regarding the finding of the audit.
“We, therefore, regret that as a matter of conscience and faith, we hereby submit to you our resignation from the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral.”
Reacting to the resignations on Atinka FM’s AM Drive with host Obidihye Kwaku Atiemo, the Former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Inusah Fuseini, mentioned that the resignation of the two were long overdue.
He added that the two should have asked some important questions before accepting to be trustees of the board.
“The Cathedral is a grand deception and these men should have resigned long ago. Ghanaians are immune to the truth and so when people have reservations about a position, they will still accept and keep mute. Although these two have resigned, they cannot excuse themselves or escape the responsibility. No one is against the cathedral but the basis and manner in which the government wants to build the cathedral is morally unjustified,” Inusah Fuseini fumed.
