Individual from Parliament for North Tongu body electorate, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has uncovered that his Right to Information solicitation to the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) has shown that the authority has no data on the development of the National Cathedral by Ribade Company Ltd.
The PPAs reaction demonstrates that it offered no agreement to Ribade Company Ltd. to develop the National Cathedral.
Sharing his discoveries on Twitter on July 6, the lawmaker noticed that he was in total shock at the US$400 million government had diverted into a house of prayer whose development organization isn't perceived by the overseeing expert in Ghana.
He noticed that clearly Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta didn't comply with Ghana's acquisition regulations or followed fair treatment to make a special case as given by regulation.
In the extent of utilization for the obtainment structures, the legislator noticed that the Act applies to Section 14 1 (a) of the Public Procurement Act,2003 (Act 663) that, the acquirement of products, works and administrations, supported in entire or to some degree from public assets with the exception of where the Minister concludes that it is in the public interest to utilize an alternate methodology. In area 14 2(e) of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663) the Act, without restricting subsection (1), applies to state claimed ventures to the degree that they use public assets.
As per Mr. Ablakwa, going by regulation, the PPA in its regard allowed no waiver or sanction they might think about under uncommon conditions. He focused on that there is no proof to demonstrate that the Finance Minister followed the cycle to make a special case as accommodated by the law in Section 14 (3) of Act 663.
"At the point when obtainment regulations are not regarded and comrades are handpicked in darling arrangements as right now case, there is no incentive for cash, Ghana is scammed monetarily and in fact; this consequently makes sense of why the National Cathedral undertaking cost has turned into a degenerate moving objective from the underlying US$100 million, to US$ 200 million, then, at that point, US$250 million, ascending to US$350 million and presently US$ 400 million," he expressed.
He proceeded "this is one more huge expansion to the generally endless instances of glaring infringement of the 1992 Constitution and different laws of Ghana, unexpectedly in a sanctuary project which ought to have illuminated God. Indeed, even individuals who work for Satan don't take part in such an untamed bash."
The MP has been a gooney bird on the neck of the President as he polices his movements and recently, researching the development of his guarantee to God, the National Cathedral.
