Former Greater Accra Regional Minister, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus-Glover, has expressed support for calls to dissolve the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral project amid growing concerns over financial mismanagement.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Titus-Glover said that although President Akufo-Addo’s vision to build a national cathedral was commendable, questions surrounding the handling of funds must be addressed.
“There are places in this country without schools. If President Akufo-Addo had the vision to build a cathedral in God’s name, it was in the right direction. But if the way the funds were managed is questionable, then those responsible must provide answers,” he stated.
He added, “The Board of Trustees cannot be wrongly accused if they were not in charge of the funds. We are in a democracy, so everyone should be given a fair opportunity to account for their role.”
His remarks follow an independent audit by Deloitte and Touche, which revealed that the project had cost the state about $97 million (GH¢339 million) by December 2023.
The 76-page report highlighted irregular financial practices, procurement breaches, and questionable payments.
