Lawyer and former Deputy General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen says it is ridiculous and shameful how the government is keen on spending a whopping GH¢80 million to build a house for God when the ‘worshippers are hungry’.
“Who is complaining?” he questioned on NEAT FM’s morning show, 'Ghana Montie' on Wednesday.
The outspoken Lawyer wonders why top pastors who double as board members for the National Cathedral are not speaking against the reprehensible move by the Nana Addo-led administration.
Nana Obiri Boahene also questioned the National Cathedral board for their lavish trips to solicit for funds for the cathedral.
“I read somewhere in an article that they fly in first class/business class to beg for money for the construction of the cathedral. They won't sit in economy . . . who flies in style to beg and build God's House?” he asked.
“The GH¢80 million allocated for the construction of the National Cathedral is even more than the money allocated to the Agric ministry,” he bemoaned, adding that do you have to be a member of the NPP, NDC or CPP before questioning it?
"The truth of the matter is that African intelectuals are not prepared to aceept the truth, sincerity and honesty," he told McJerry Osei-Agyemang.

Gymie paaa de3, cathedral y3 important? Eiii
AFUKU ADDO AND HIS WICKED BRAIN DEAD OLD IMBECILES ARE THE MOST ***barred word*** PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET THEY JUST CAME TO DESTROY MOTHER GHANA WITH THEIR ***barred word*** GOVERNANCE...GOD SAVE GHANA
The fact that the cathedral is important let’s see agric to be equally important There is a saying empty stomach don’t go to church Let’s equal treat all sectors well Dr Akoto all the way
I wish Akuffo Addo-Ed administration will do something about this . Agriculture is life in Ghana so more money should go into that. If they just allocate small money into Agric, the minister do suffer a lot. As the minister is doing so well, this is the time government should put more more money into agriculture to help the minister do more for Ghanaians. The minister in charge. Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto is capable.
I feel very sad that Ghana is building cathedral while we have kids going to school under trees, & hospitals have no bed. i do not think God is happy about this project.
