The government has been asked why it wants to invest money into the National Cathedral project when there's an economic crunch.
The government of Ghana has allotted some GH¢80 million to be disbursed towards the construction of the National Cathedral in the 2023 according to the 2023 budget statement and Economic policy laid before parliament by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
Government’s expenditure projection for the years 2024, 2025 and 2026 also reveals that an additional 64 million, 75.5 million and 108 million Ghana cedis totaling 247.5 million Ghana cedis would be spent on the construction of the cathedral between 2024 and 2026.
PPP National Chairman, Nana Ofori Owusu believes in the midst of economic crisis, the money allotted for the National Cathedral project can be channeled somewhere else.
In a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', the PPP Chairman asked government to "suspend all non-essential projects like the National Cathedral. We are in an economic crisis, yet you want to push money into the construction of this project; does it make sense?"

Meanwhile, Nana Ofori Owusu wants the "entire Economic Management Team to resign".

Massa the cathedral will solve all our problems. It will even help in the debt restructuring. Ajeeeii. Gymie fuo nkoa
The government unreasonable expenditure will affect all and not the few PEOPLE who cause them . Our policies allow parties or government in power irresponsible for their actions . They create problems and all that we do is to vote them out but these politicians are one .They can see well when in oppositions but follow the same track when in power. If we can take away partisan and tribalism and be one as Ghanaians we can push them to change the laws and policies that is not helping us.
Wo gyafo ekasa too moooch!!! After all you and your boss Nduom have done to investors you still have the nerves to want to talk about fixing things. Man fix yourself. kasa huunu 3nd) wre, enti ko so dwa wo num.
Disappointed Politician !!!!! Needless comment !!! The Cathedral is an important National Asset and very Essential.
Why are some people so much against the national cathedral? Why? Only time will vindicate this government for building the cathedral. I am for the cathedral. Other non-essential projects can be suspended. I pity people who call the national cathedral project a non-essential project. It is not Akuffo Addo's personal home/house.
