A former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana Rev Fred Dogbe has said he would support any action the current government would initiate in unraveling the investigations of appointees into the scandal of the Construction of National Cathedral located in Accra.

According to him, in spite of the fact that the appointees and the board of trustees of the National Cathedral were mainly men of God should not frustrate the government in investigating the alleged rot adding that as they are not angels of God who are infallible in nature.

He however advised that such findings should be geared towards undertaking credible reports that would not be tagged as witch-hunting the appointees or other individuals involved.

The President, John Dramani Mahama in addressing the clergy yesterday criticized the cost of the initiative, saying, “In the current circumstances that Ghana is going through, it makes no sense to achieve such a project at a whopping sum of $400 million. I am informed that the National Ecumenical Centre in Abuja, which is used by the Christian faith in Nigeria, was built at the cost of $30 million.”

Speaking at a Christian National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, January 12, 2025, at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), President Mahama questioned the financial prudence of the project, especially given Ghana’s current economic hardships.

Rev Fred Dogbe expressed that the whole National Cathedral project is haunted by issues that basically seems to mar the spiritual intends the project was meant to be adding that the amount of money pumped into the project so far should have started bearing results for all to see.
