National Cathedral: I will disagree with Mahama if… – Mintah Akandoh

Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Member of Parliament for Juaboso Constituency, has expressed his strong reservations about the National Cathedral project. In a recent interview, he stated that he would disagree with President-elect John Mahama if he decides to continue with the project when he takes office.

According to Akandoh, the National Cathedral project is not a priority for Ghanaians, and there are more pressing issues that need to be addressed. He emphasized that the project was a personal promise made by President Akufo-Addo to God, and not a commitment made by Mahama.

Akandoh questioned the wisdom of building a cathedral when there are more pressing needs in the country. He cited the example of hospitals, stating that God would not choose a cathedral over a hospital. He emphasized that Ghanaians are not unreasonable people and would expect the government to prioritize their needs.

The MP's comments come after Mahama promised to conduct a comprehensive investigation and forensic audit of the National Cathedral project if he wins the election. Mahama stated that the audit would involve a detailed examination of financial transactions, procurement processes, and resource utilization to identify any irregularities or instances of corruption.

Akandoh's statement suggests that he would oppose any attempts by Mahama to continue with the project. He emphasized that as a Christian, he believes that God would be happy if Ghanaians have access to proper healthcare and other basic needs.

The National Cathedral project has been a contentious issue in Ghana, with many questioning its relevance and priority. Akandoh's comments add to the growing debate about the project's future.

It remains to be seen how Mahama will respond to Akandoh's comments. However, it is clear that the MP's opposition to the project will add to the challenges that Mahama will face when he takes office.

In conclusion, Akandoh's statement highlights the growing opposition to the National Cathedral project. As the debate continues, it is clear that the project's future remains uncertain.
