Former Finance Minister Calls for Transparency in National Cathedral Project.


Former Finance Minister Calls for Transparency in National Cathedral Project.

Dr. Stephen Amoah, a former Finance Minister and member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has added his voice to the growing concerns surrounding the National Cathedral project. 

Despite being a member of the ruling party, Dr. Amoah has emphasized the need for transparency in the project's finances, calling for a thorough investigation into the source of funding and overall cost.


In a recent interview, Dr. Amoah expressed his reservations about the project's financial implications, stating that he shares the concerns of those who have questioned the allocation of funds for the cathedral. 

While he did not object to the construction of the cathedral itself, Dr. Amoah stressed that it is essential to ensure that the project is transparent and accountable.


Furthermore, Dr. Amoah raised concerns about the location of the cathedral, suggesting that its proximity to the International Conference Centre and Parliament may not be ideal. 

His comments have contributed to the ongoing debate about the project's viability and the potential alternatives for the allocated funds.


The National Cathedral project has been a subject of controversy, with critics arguing that the funds could be better utilized to address pressing social and economic issues such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure development. 

As the debate continues, Dr. Amoah's call for transparency and accountability serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible governance and fiscal management.
