A leading member and Director of Elections of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) James Kwabena Bonfeh says he’s asked his lawyers to file for an injunction restraining the government from proceeding with the construction of a National Cathedral.
The Akufo Addo led administration has come under a barrage of public criticism after it emerged that several buildings including the Scholarship Secretariat, Passport Office at Ridge and nine bungalows occupied by Appeals Court Judges are to be demolished as government is set to begin the construction of the House of Prayer.
Scores of other structures within that enclave including the Judicial Training School are also expected to be pulled down to make way for the 5000 seater state of the art cathedral which will also include a Bible Museum and a Documentation Centre.
Occupants of some of the residential facilities have begun packing out their belongings as they’ve been served with notices to vacate the place even as the Supreme Court hears the CPP’s James Kwabena Bomfeh’s application to halt the process.
The nine Appeals Court Judges whose bungalows have been affected have meanwhile been asked to moved into a rented facility while government constructs new bungalows at Cantonments to be handed over to the Judicial Service in 2020.
Speaking to Nana Ansah Kwao Monday night, on PM Express on Multi TV, Mr Bomfeh a.k.a Kabila who earlier filed a writ at the Supreme Court believes government’s intended move violates the constitutions.
“You’re introducing this nation to danger, please stop. You’re going contrary to law in my opinion. I’m begging of the Supreme Court to grant me my pleas, once they grant me that I’m sure that we would all see the finality of this matter. That’s why I’m surprised that as we speak the Appeals Court Judges whose residences are around that area are to move, why, because you’re going to build a national cathedral which is a subject before the Supreme Court.
“So I’ve advised my lawyers that we should go for an injunction to restrain the government from further activity and I’m sure that in the next few hours or so, don’t be surprised that we’ve served notice for injunction to be moved.”

Kabila is a disappointed ***barred word*** who has a constipated mind which is actually corrupted. Show your real colours. Any Christian who fights against this Great Project is an ***barred word*** and will die the day he/she sets foot in any church. Amen
