Ursula Owusu-Ekuful under fire for claiming credit for church-initiated project.

Hon. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West and Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, is facing criticism for allegedly taking credit for a drainage project funded and initiated by the Church of Pentecost, Mpoasei District.

According to Gilbert John Ayamba, the District Pastor of the Church of Pentecost, the church began the construction of a drainage system to help mitigate the area's severe flooding, especially during the rainy season. The project, which costs GHS 667,000, was funded by donations from church members.

While Hon. Owusu-Ekuful was informed about the initiative and commended the church, she neither provided financial support nor had a significant role in its execution. The church has not received any external financial support, and Pastor Ayamba expressed disappointment over attempts to politicize the project.

The church is still seeking additional funds to complete the project and has appealed to NGOs, individuals, and philanthropists for support.
