The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has describe the response from the Executive Director of the National Cathedral Secretariat, Dr. Paul Opoku Mensah to his earlier expose as “furiating juvenile lies”.
According to lawmaker, the response from the Secretariat confirms indeed, Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng is the same as Kwabena Adu Gyamfi despite the different dates of birth, different TINs and multiple addresses.
This comes after Secretariat in a statement explained that the GH₵2.6 million was a refund to JNS talent and not an amount illegally paid to the company.
“As a normal verification – expected of a Member of Parliament – this was not an illegal payment but rather a refund of a short-term interest-free loan made by JNS to top up the payments to the contractors of the National Cathedral. This support was sought from a National Cathedral Trustee Member, Rev Kusi Boateng, in a letter dated August 26, 2021, due to a delay in the receipt of funds to pay the Contractors on time.”
But Ablakwa in another social media post responding to the statement said, “the National Cathedral Secretariat by this statement confirms that Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng is indeed Kwabena Adu Gyamfi despite the different dates of birth, different TINs and multiple addresses. Cock and bull story about a personal loan from shonky Kwabena Adu Gyamfi/Victor Kusi Boateng; when the Secretariat’s own documents to parliament refer to the payment to JNS as being for “Contractors Mobilization” and not a loan refund.
He continued, “Where is the Board resolution authorizing the contracting of the loan? Where are the minutes of the board meeting? Where is the loan agreement? I know on authority all these do not exist. Respectfully, the secretariat should cut down on their infuriating juvenile lies, for they claim to be building a cathedral for our Holy Creator who detests such conduct.
“The Secretariat should also stop their vacuous claims that its Board remains focused and explain to the good people of Ghana why the respected Bishop Dag Heward-Mills no longer features on their website as a member of the Board of Trustees.”
