National Cathedral site handed back to government pending AG’s review – Mahama Ayariga

The site of Ghana's National Cathedral has been returned to government control pending a review by the Attorney-General, according to Local Government Minister Mahama Ayariga. The announcement was made during a Government Accountability Series event at the Jubilee House on October 5. Ayariga explained that the contractor has been instructed to transfer the site to the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, which will hold onto it until the government decides on the project's future following the Attorney-General's review of the forensic audit.

The forensic audit, conducted under the previous administration, is being examined to assess the financial expenditure related to the cathedral's construction plans. Once the Attorney-General provides his assessment, Ayariga stated that the government will determine the subsequent steps for the site. Additionally, Ayariga confirmed that the board of trustees for the National Cathedral has been dissolved due to the government's decision not to allocate further public funds to the project. He sent letters to the board members, informing them of their dissolution.
