Why is Kwesi Pratt complaining about the National Cathedral Project. Kwesi Pratt is a stomach journalist. Has Kwesi Pratt ever condemned Ghana Government for sinking millions of tax payers’ money into the annual Hajj operation to Mecca? This same Kwesi Pratt is always quick to condemn Israel and supports the Palestinian cause but will never condemn the slavery of black Africans by Arabs in Mauritania. Why is it so? Your guess is as good as mine. Kwesi Pratt has insatiable appetite for free money and so will do everything to solicit cheap oil money from rich Muslim nations. Shame on Kwesi Pratt. If this is how journalism is meant to be then, I am sorry, journalism is a dangerous profession.

IS IT RIGHT FOR GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT HAJJ PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA? HMMM GOD IS WATCHING US

But what's wrong of funding it by the government? Every developed city in the world has a Cathedral. The reason is more spiritual than mere politics. Go ahead and God will bless us!

The majority of Ghanaians voted for the NPP, so Ghana has an NPP government now, but the NDC and PPP are still part of Ghana. Christians are in the majority in Ghana, so we are more a Christian country than a Moslem country. So there is nothing wrong about the building of a national place of worship.
Common sense dictates that Akuffo Addo would not just wake up and start building a chapel with our money without giving us prior notice. But if critics are just critical because of the christian connotation, then it is hard luck! Ghana and Christianity are inseparable!

These same people support the funding of the Moslem Pilgrimage to Mecca Year on Year.

I weep for mother Ghana.

Please for your information both NDC and NPP have never sponsored Hajj operation in Ghana. They only sponsor their party members at the expense of the poor Ghanaian Muslims who pay cedi equivalent of $3600

Building a cathedral to the glory of GOD for the benefit of about 70% of Ghanaians who are Christians, and using entire population' resources to brand a bus for the selfish interest of Ndc John Mahama which is better and helpful. H. E. President Akufo-Addo, please ignore the detractors from Cpp and Ndc. God bless you. Amen.

IF THE GOVERNMENT WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY FUNDS HAJ, NO DOUBT IT'S A VOTE BUYING INITIATIVE AND MUST BE CONDEMNED BY ALL. IF SOMEONE FEELS IT'S NECESSARY FOR THEM TO DO A PILGRIMAGE, THEY MUST BEAR THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS EQUALLY OUT OF PLACE FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO HAVE ANY HAND AT ALL IN THE BUILDING OF A 'NATIONAL CATHEDRAL'. THE IDEA OF NATIONAL CATHEDRAL IS A LUDICROUS ONE TO BEGIN WITH.SOMEONE WOULD SAY CATHEDRAL IS AN ENGLISH WORD AND NOT RELATED TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, BUT WHO WOULD WORSHIP THERE DAY TO DAY? OR SHUT IT DOWN EXCEPT FOR INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATIONS, WHERE YOUR PREGNANT SISTERS AND WIVES SLEEP ON BENCHES? WHO TAKES THE COLLECTION HOME FROM THIS BUILDING?

...isn't it amazing that some Ghanaians behave as if anything Christian is evil. It is only when the State of Ghana decides to do something for Christians that these Hippocrates finds their voices "pointing always to our circular constitution". I call these people Hippocrates because country ghana has over the years continue to sponsor our moslem brothers and sisters in their spiritual journey to Meca. Are they telling me the 1992 constitution is only circular when it comes to the Christian community? But becomes impotent in front of other religions?

please spare the Christians your anti-Christ sentiments!

Absolute tosh, Rev Opuni!!

Ghana is a secular country - this is enshrined in our constitution. Gov't has no business putting up a national cathedral. Gov't needs to build our economic infrastructure - provide schools, hospitals, roads etc

Gov't must get its priorities right. It cannot squander tax-payers' money on meaningless projects like cathedrals - this should be left to churches.

The church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord, She is His new creation By water and the Word. From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy bride ; With His own blood He bought her And for her life He died.
