Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has criticised the manner in which the National Cathedral project was undertaken, arguing that the approach used was inappropriate for a project of its nature.
According to Dr Ayine, funds spent on the controversial project could have been redirected towards other pressing national needs, including the completion of some hospitals under the Agenda 111 programme.
Speaking at the district launch of the Free Primary Health Care programme in Bolga East during President John Dramani Mahama’s two-day “Resetting Ghana Tour” of the Upper East Region, Dr Ayine said a PwC report on the National Cathedral had been presented to him the previous Friday and had influenced his views on the project.
He said, “The monies spent on the National Cathedral from that Report could have been used to complete some Agenda 111 Hospitals.”

Dr Ayine further criticised the manner in which the project was pursued, stating, “You don’t build a house of God in the manner in which they went about it.”
His comments come amid ongoing concerns over the expenditure and management of the National Cathedral project.
