The Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, has taken aim at President Akufo-Addo over the construction of the National Cathedral.
Using the Bible to buttress his point, Sam George quoted a Bible verse, Luke Ch. 14 Vs. 28, which states that it is only a fool who starts a project without having an idea of where to secure funds for the project.
“…This is what the bible we believe in says to us in Luke 14 vs 28 said: ‘Is there anyone here planning to build a new house (In this case a Cathedral) who doesn’t sit down to figure the cost so you know if you can complete it? If you only get the foundation laid and then run out of money you are going to look pretty foolish everyone passing by will point fun at you, that you started something and you couldn’t finish” Sam George said.
According to George, no one is against the construction of a Cathedral but instead the lies, deceit and misappropriation of public funds that the Akufo-Addo government is engaged in.
The legislator made his point during the debate on the approval of the 2023 budget in the House.

The speech followed the minority battling to curtail the allocation of Ghc 80m towards the construction of the Cathedral in the 2023 budget.
The figure has since been appropriated to the Ministry of Communication and Digitalisation.
Meanwhile, the President continues to insist that the Cathedral would be constructed.
According to him, anyone against the construction are shades of the biblical Tobias and Sanballat.
“Just like Sanballat and Tobias, in the days of Nehemiah, there are some who do not share my views on the building of the National Cathedral, I respect their right to differ but I am confident (of) my decision, by the vast numbers of enthusiastic supporters of this project whose spiritual dimension is limitless”, the President said on Sunday, December 18, 2022, when he delivered an address at the centenary celebration of the Ga Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, held at the Black Star Square, Accra.
