Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, who is known as Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has never been in support of the ongoing National Cathedral project since they begun its construction. He has pledged to always continue his fight against the construction of the National Cathedral of Ghana. This was followed by the redundancy
of a disdain suit which was filed against him by Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, who is the Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the construction of the National Cathedral project.
The court dismissed the suit on the 2nd of May, 2023 as a result of citing a lack of substantiation that met the legal standard of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
During an interview with the Media General after the verdict, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, expressed his determination to expose corruption and wrongdoing which are related to the National Cathedral project by saying that, the outcome of the case had given him an 'impetus', 'more nerve' and 'more drive' to do what was right in the public interest.
He further accused the leaders of the National Cathedral project of abusing the judicial process and pledged to resist the construction of the Cathedral, which he called the 'most reckless', most corrupt, most ungodly project ever' and also 'really blasphemous' and 'sacreligious.'
The comments of the Member of Parliament came as controversy continues to swirl around the National Cathedral project, which has been immensely criticized by some of the people in Ghana who say that the country should concentrate on other priorities, such as healthcare and education, rather than spending huge sum of money on a religious building.
Others have also criticized the project's implicit impact on green space and the local communities. Despite these opposition, yet still, the construction of the Cathedral has continued, with the leaders of the project saying that it'll serve as a symbol of Ghana’s Christian faith and their cultural heritage.
