Dr. Cyril Fayose, the General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, has urged the government to be upfront about the national cathedral project's finances.
According to him, the government has every right to do so in order to put everyone's minds at ease about financing sources and other matters.
He went on to say that while there's nothing wrong with the government partially sponsoring the project, as prior governments have done so in the past for a variety of religious activities, more transparency would be desirable.
"Well, you know, this is the government's and the President's baby; we should not lose sight of that very crucial part of the equation," he remarked on JoyNews' PM Express.
"Even though the churches had freely joined in, the President and the government still hold it dear. So, if things aren't going well, they could help."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the government supporting religious activity," he continued. And I'm aware that prior governments have backed religious activities on a number of occasions.
"What matters is that if government does so, it comes clean, puts everything on the table, and informs the entire world that this is what government is doing to assist Christians or the nation in its search for the divine."
"And we do it in a variety of other ways, so I don't see what's wrong with it," she says, "but they must first come clean."
Dr. Fayose expressed his delight at the Finance Minister's appearance to speak about the national cathedral project and the amount of government funding being invested in it.
"Let us be upfront about some of these things," he continued, "and there will be no difficulty."
Ken Ofori-Atta, the Finance Minister, said that the project, which was originally estimated to cost $100 million, will now cost $350 million.
The North Tongu MP has accused the administration of siphoning public cash to facilitate a project it promoted as a personal and private vow for the previous week.
