Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has expressed shock at how the government has so far expended the funds allocated towards the controversial national cathedral project.
The MP, who has been on a crusade to expose everything that is wrong with the project, has in his latest Facebook post revealed that only US$22.07 million of public funds went to the contractors, RIBADE JV, for actual construction out of over $58 million dollars allocated to the project.
Already, the government has been criticized for spending huge sums of the allocated funds towards the cathedral on consultancy services and other things.
“Ghanaians will be shocked to discover this morning that out of the US$58.14million of public funds unconstitutionally withdrawn without parliamentary approval for Akufo-Addo’s cathedral project, only a fraction of US$22.07 million went to the contractors, RIBADE JV for actual construction,” he said.
