Judges whose houses whose houses were affected following government’s decision to construct a 5000 seater national Cathedral have started relocating, the Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Benito Owusu Bio has revealed.
Nana Akufo-Addo on Monday, March 6, 2017, cut the sword for the construction of a 5000 seater national cathedral for interdenominational worship in Accra.
The Project when started will see to the pulling down of buildings housing the Scholarship Secretariat, the Passport Office and some nine bungalows occupied by Appeals Court Judges.
In an interview with Accra based Adom FM on Thursday, Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Benito Owusu Bio refuted claims that judges whose homes were affected, objected to government’s promise to relocate them.
He added that government has no qualms with the proposed site for the National Cathedral.
The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church and a member of the board of trustees for the National Cathedral who spoke on Atinka FM’s morning show earlier said Ghanaians have failed to look at the future purposes of the National Cathedral.
Meanwhile, the Former National Youth Organiser of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) Kwabena Bomfeh Jnr, Popularly Known as "Kabila" is currently at the Supreme Court, seeking to quash the government decision.
According to him Government has no business to construct any edifice for a religious sect or organise religious pilgrimage such as the hajj.
