North Tongu Member of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has alleged some illegal withdrawals were made from the National Cathedral account despite the suspension of the project in March 2022.
According to a post made by the legislator who has made several revelations about the project, the withdrawal was supposed to get the contractors who had suspended their services back on site but didn’t happen.
Ribade company Ltd terminated their contract with the National Cathedral Secretariat on March 14, 2022 to mitigate cost after the project was suspended and were not receving funds.
The decision according to the letter signed by the project manager was arrived as per the agreement of the contract.
Despite the suspension, the MP has said withdrawals were still made from the account illegally.
Read his post below:
The National Cathedral Secretariat has been compelled to confirm what I put out as far back as June 9, that the cathedral project has been suspended by the contractors due to lack of payment.
Despite the suspension on the 14th of March, 2022, evidence shows illegal withdrawals continued on the 31st of March, 2022 without the contractors returning to site.
Meanwhile, the lead contractor — Rizanni de Eccher S.p.A. no longer features Ghana’s National Cathedral on the list of global projects published on their website.
We need full accountability NOW!
