Parliament has
directed the establishment of an ad-hoc committee to conduct an enquiry into
the National Cathedral project and all related matters and to make appropriate
recommendations for consideration by the House.
The Member of
Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa together with five other
minority members filed a private member’s motion demanding a probe into the
stalled project despite the injection of about $58 million into the facility.
Work on the
National Cathedral stalled a year ago with liability and interest costs being
incurred day in and day out.
Second Deputy
Speaker, Andrew Amoako Asiamah adopting the motion for onward action by the
leadership of the house said “This motion is a very very important one and I
pray that this house will approve this motion under order 919. Order 919
provides that the house at any time by motion appoint a special or Adhoc
committee to investigate any mat
ter of public importance.
“The National
Cathedral project of Ghana is essentially the most expensive project in the
history of Ghana. Already as we speak, this project has ballooned from 100
million to $400 million and it’s still a moving target, it is
still rising.
A
“So far, about
$58 million has been spent on the project and what we see has become a subject
of considerable controversy. We only see a hole and we are not too sure really
if it is $58 million that has gone into the project. We know that the project
has been abandoned since March last year.”
“As we speak the
cost continues to go up, there are liabilities, there are interests and
suspension claims which on its own runs into about $52 million by my check,” he
stated
