Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who is a member of parliament for the North Tongu Constituency, has hinted that a new document he has shows that Enterprise Insurance was given a sweetheart deal to cover the whole cathedral construction site.
This was posted on the Ablakwa's Twitter account early on Saturday, January 7, 2023.
Some Ghanaians have said that the national cathedral project is a waste of tax money.
But some board members and government officials said that building the cathedral is a step in the right direction because they think it will help the economy grow when it's done.
His Tweet Reads: Fresh Cathedral documents in my possession reveal that Enterprise Insurance, a company Ken Ofori-Atta is intimately associated with & where his wife serves as a director was granted a sweetheart deal to insure the entire cathedral construction site.
God save the Trade Ministry.
Mr. Ablakwa has been very important in bringing up controversial facts about the building of the National Cathedral.
So far, about GHc 400 million has been put into the project, which is still just getting started. In the budget for 2023, GHc 80 million was set aside for its construction, but that money has been taken away.
But the project's President and Board of Trustees are hopeful that construction will continue as they look for help from private groups and individuals.
