President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is set to meet the leadership of the Ghanaian clergy to discuss the controversies that have popped up over the construction of a national cathedral.
Ghanaians have criticized the sighting and priority government is giving to the construction of the cathedral as compared to some national challenges.
People have argued that demolishing state bungalows on the penciled location is not in the right direction and it will have a drain on national [ads1]coffers.
A former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong, who was part of the initial delegation of clergymen who met President Akufo-Addo to discuss the establishment of the cathedral has hinted that the Council will not hesitate to acquire a land elsewhere for the construction of the controversial facility.
President Nana Akufo-Addo in 2017 cut the sod for the construction of a National Cathedral to serve as a national non-denominational Christian worship center for the country.
Media reports on Monday indicated that about 9 Judges of the Court of Appeal including many other residents within the earmarked area, were being evicted to enable construction works to begin.
But the relocation of the judges was only confirmed in writing on July 24, in a letter from the Lands and Natural Resources Ministry.
