The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has intimated that the National Cathedral Project by government continues to drown in a sea of naked lies.
According to Okudzeto Ablakwa, incorporation documents he has obtained from the Registrar General exposes another false claim contained in the 7-page June 17, 2022 press release by the National Cathedral Secretariat, signed by Executive Director, Dr. Paul Opoku-Mensah. “Akufo-Addo’s Cathedral continues to drown in a sea of naked lies.”
“Contrary to the information provided in the said press statement and on the nicodemously updated national cathedral website (after we exposed the Pastor Otabil deception), to the effect that all the Board of Trustees have been registered as Directors of the National Cathedral of Ghana; we note surprisingly, that the venerable Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, Presiding Bishop of the Lighthouse Group of Churches and the esteemed Rev. Prof. Cephas Omenyo, Former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church were not registered as directors on the incorporation date of 18th July, 2019.”

The North Tongu MP indicated that, the two revered clergymen have at all material times been clearly left out and substituted with the following names: Samuel Antwi and Kingsley Ofosu Ntiamoah.
Okudzeto Ablakwa then questioned why the National Cathedral Secretariat is misleading the Ghanaian public and the world that all the published trustees are registered as directors.
“One wonders if Bishop Dag Heward-Mills and Rev. Prof. Cephas Omenyo are aware that despite the public misrepresentations, their names have been patently omitted from the list of eminent registered directors?”

Cathedral registered as a private entity
Okudzeto Ablakwa disclosed that another troubling falsehood the Minority has detected is that, even though the June 17 press release claims that the National Cathedral of Ghana is a “state-owned company” and thus a “public and not a private” entity, the incorporation documents in their possession reveals rather curiously that the National Cathedral of Ghana is registered as private.
The North Tongu MP averred that the list of falsehoods, misrepresentations, opacity, lawlessness and blatant corruption associated with this cathedral project is now a bottomless pit.
“Christians in Ghana may have to declare a 40-day intense fasting and prayer to purge and rescue Akufo-Addo’s drowning cathedral of lies.”

Touching on the cost of the architectural designs, Okudzeto revealed that in addition to David Adjaye’s 12.5% charge for his original design which amounted to US$21.37million after a trade discount, he separately charged Ghana again for the later design of the integration of a Bible Museum & Biblical Gardens, which was paid out of the unconstitutional US$25million seed money.
“The Almighty Lord will keep exposing this grand presidential heist perpetrated in His Holy Name.”
