Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, says funds spent on the construction of the National Cathedral could have been redirected to complete some stalled hospitals under the Agenda 111 project.
Speaking at the district launch of the Free Primary Healthcare programme in the Bolga East Constituency as part of President John Dramani Mahama’s two-day Resetting Ghana Tour of the Upper East Region, Dr Ayine criticised the manner in which the National Cathedral project was undertaken.
He said a PwC report on the National Cathedral, which was presented to him on Friday, indicated that monies spent on the project could have been channelled towards completing some of the hospitals under Agenda 111.
“The PwC Report on the National Cathedral was presented to me last Friday. The monies spent on the National Cathedral from that report could have been used to complete some Agenda 111 hospitals,” Dr Ayine said.
The Attorney General also questioned the approach adopted in developing the project, arguing that a religious facility should have been undertaken differently.
“You don’t build a house of God in the manner in which they went about it,” he added.
