Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah, a Governance Lecturer at the Central University, has slammed the Trade Union Congress (TUC) over their call for the National Cathedral to be converted into a hospital.
Addressing the 2023 May Day parade in Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region under the theme: "Protecting incomes and pensions in an era of economic crisis: Our responsibility", the Secretary-General of the TUC, Dr. Anthony Yaw Baah said converting the Cathedral into a hospital will serve the needs of Ghanaians better.
“The President has always said he wants to create another Notre Dame in Ghana so we can attract a lot of visitors but we disagree. In fact, comrades, it will be better to convert the project into a national hospital,” Dr Yaw Baah said.
But Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah has questioned the logic in the TUC request.
He wondered why they would ask for the Cathedral to be converted into hospital, asking "are there no more lands in Ghana?"
Dr. Otchere-Ankrah cautioned the TUC to focus on matters regarding them and not meddle in issues that do not concern them.
"Let's stop this", he exclaimed.

heerh wei y3 lecturer? Apuuuuuu
Thanks to Democracy, everybody can talk. So it's only about building hospitals and schools? And it's not as if nothing else is receiving attention and a cathedral is being built. There's supposed to be ongoing 111 hospitals across the country aside others. The cathedral site is a walking distance from Ridge hospital, so I don't get the point about national hospital. How much money do we spend on the Black Stars, yet nobody complains. You can oppose the cathedral project but this talk of a hospital instead is a light headed talk
The TUC person's comment isn't about land. It's about scarce resources. Building a hospital in addition to the cathedral will put more financial pressure on the people of Ghana. It is wise to stop the cathedral and direct those resources into building a national hospital.
THESE SO CALLED LEARNED MEN ARE THE MOST BRAIN DEAD GOOD FOR NOTHING PEOPLE, SO THIS GOVERNMENT KNEW THERE WERE LANDS IN GHANA YET WENT AHEAD TO DEMOLISH LAWYERS QUARTERS FOR THAT ***barred word*** PROJECT...SOMETIME I FEEL SORRY FOR MOTHER GHANA WHEN THESE EMPTY HEADED ***barred word*** THEIR FOOLISHNESS....GOD SAVE GHANA
