Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a member of parliament for North Tongu, is still extremely concerned about the government of President Nana Akufo-decision Addo’s to demolish a few official buildings to make room for the National Cathedral.
The lawmaker who is spearheading a campaign against several violations related to the contentious project claims that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s decision to demolish the buildings is by far the most careless choice in the nation’s history.
The Scholarship Secretariat, passport office, judicial training institute, and residence of the Malian Ambassador among others were all razed to the ground for the National Cathedral’s construction works.
Mr. Ablakwa hinted the following to Umaru Sanda Amadu during Face to Face on Citi TV:
“Consider the compensation burden on the Ghanaian taxpayer because of the very mindless and reckless decision to site this project at a place where we had so many existing edifices that the President decides to pull down. That has been the most reckless decision ever taken by any President.
The cost implication [is really worrying]. It grieves my heart so much that the Scholarship Secretariat is a building that in other jurisdictions is preserved so much because of the great history of the icons that went through the secretariat.”
