Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu Constituency in the Volta region of Ghana, Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has warned that anyone found to have committed any wrongdoing in the construction of the controversial National Cathedral will be prosecuted.
“Some people will be prosecuted over the National Cathedral project when the National Democratic Congress (NDC) wins political power to form the next government”, he noted.
Mr. Ablakwa who doubles as the Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament alleged that the government has released an amount of ¢32million to one Sir David Adjaye & Associates Limited in 2021 without approval by Parliament.
The North Tongu lawmaker without mincing words opined that the ¢32million paid to Sir Adjaye and Associates Limited is illegal.
“MPs have not approved all of these colossal sums of money that are being released to companies we are seeing for the first time.
“We are not even aware of the procurement processes that were followed for these companies and these consultants, who are today receiving hundreds of millions of Ghana cedis,” Mr. Ablakwa said.
The North Tongu MP explained on GTV’s Breakfast Show on Monday, June 13, 2022, hinted that “Hundreds of Ghana Cedis have been spent without the foreknowledge of Parliament.
On Sunday, June 12, 2022, the Finance Minister spoke about only 25million cedis as money so far spend on the National Cathedral.

These are the kind of comments that will perpetually put NDC in opposition forever. What power has Ablakwa to say NDC will prosecute people. God should be feared. He talks like a child. Immaturity at its highest apogee. Grow up. Even Sammy Gyamfi is learning to grow up. Shame on you
If your NDC government can give Gch 51 million to Woyome for no work done and you are happy with that, if you do not take care God will deal with you. You have never work before joining NDC but able to hire two planes for your wedding quest. Shame on you judgement debt champion.
Another 2008 strategy this time? NEVER! What didn't NDC say about the late Yaa Naa killers?
If anything at all this boy should fear God. Ablakwa how sure are you that you will live beyond 2024? Jehova is a jealous God who should be feared and respected!!
Palpable ***barred word***. Talk is cheap and Ablakwa does not know what he is talking about. When this Cathedral start bringing in money, NDC will put it into the account of Nana Addo
I pray that NDC comes back to power to achieve all that they are self entitled to as if they have the power to make Ghana any better after 27 years if messing up and the economy and putting Ghana in a state to self enriched themselves. If rules and regulations were working in Ghana all these so called self righteous people should be prosecuted by now and put in jail to set a good example to others that people do not come into politics to enrich themselves and them to have declared their assets before and after leaving office so that we can all see where they started off from. I pray for Ghana if we still have people like this preaching anti corruption crusade when it suits them just for power. Ghanaians should wise up and see them for who they.
