Founder and Leader of the Believers Worship Center, Rev Stephen Adom Kyei Duah, has advised President John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to stay focused on governing the country and disregard renewed calls for the completion of the National Cathedral.
His comment comes after the Christian Council of Ghana appealed to the new administration to consider completing the controversial project.
Speaking during a church service, Rev Adom Kyei Duah questioned why government should be involved in constructing a religious facility, arguing that such projects should not be tied to state resources.
“I am advising the NDC government to remain focused. The biggest swimming pool… if God wants a cathedral, would it have anything to do with the government? When Muslims build mosques, do you see any of them going to government?” he said.
The cleric urged President Mahama to prioritise national development and economic management rather than diverting attention toward a project he described as unnecessary for government to fund.
