I don’t condone stealing in the name of God – John Mahama

In a candid engagement with the media today, former President John Mahama delivered a stark message regarding the National Cathedral project, highlighting concerns over alleged misappropriation of funds. Mahama, known for his outspoken views on governance and accountability, did not mince words as he denounced what he termed as theft under the guise of religious edifice construction.

“The National Cathedral should symbolize unity and spiritual reverence, not a cover for financial misconduct,” Mahama asserted, clearly perturbed by recent revelations. He pointed out the irony of invoking divine sanction while, in his words, “perpetuating acts that betray public trust and transparency.”

Mahama’s remarks come amidst ongoing scrutiny and debate surrounding the funding and management of the National Cathedral, a project championed by the current administration. While acknowledging the significance of such a national monument, Mahama stressed the importance of upholding ethical standards and fiscal responsibility.

“We cannot allow sacred endeavors to be tainted by corruption,” Mahama admonished, calling for stringent oversight and accountability measures to safeguard public resources. His comments resonate at a time when public trust in institutions is increasingly fragile, demanding both scrutiny and rectitude in the stewardship of national projects.

As the discourse intensifies, Mahama’s words serve as a poignant reminder of the dual responsibilities of faith and governance in shaping a nation’s moral and social fabric. His call to action challenges stakeholders to uphold integrity and transparency in all endeavors, particularly those imbued with cultural and spiritual significance.

In conclusion, Mahama’s stance underscores a broader imperative for ethical governance and responsible stewardship in national development projects, urging a collective commitment to uphold values that transcend partisan interests and safeguard public trust.
