The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has added his voice to the controversy that the construction of a National Cathedral has generated in the media recently.
With most of his party members disagreeing to the intent of the construction, Nketiah, however, thinks it is a good thing for Ghana to get a National Cathedral.
[ads1]“I don’t agree with those saying that the building of the national cathedral is a misplaced priority. we have a National Mosque for the Muslims so what’s wrong with getting a National Cathedral for the Christians?”, he told Accra based Happy FM.
Many believe building a Cathedral is a waste of taxpayers’ money and discriminatory to other religious bodies.
The concerns deepened after it emerged that government was going to demolish buildings including residences of judges to make way for the construction of the Cathedral.
But Nketia, who is popularly knowns as General Mosquito said: “The National Cathedral is not a bad idea and we need to support it across the political spectrum. Religion is one thing that unites us together as a country.”
According to Asiedu Nketia, he does not agree with those saying that the project is a “misplaced priority” but putting up such a facility would bring many advantages to the country as a whole.
On March 6, 2017, cut sod for the commencement of the building of a National Cathedral of interdenominational worship in our capital, Accra.
