Media personality Bridget Otoo has criticized the recent response from the National Cathedral secretariat to the resignation of two prominent clergymen from the project’s Board of Trustees.
In a letter dated October 18, the secretariat challenged one of the main reasons provided by Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and Rev. Eastwood Anaba for their decision to step down. They cited the lack of an audit into project activities and expenditures for transparency and to eliminate corruption perception.
In a rebuttal on October 17, the Executive Director of the National Cathedral project, Dr. Paul Opoku-Mensah, stated that an audit of the project was already underway and refuted the claim of inaction. Dr. Opoku-Mensah emphasized that the clergymen had been provided with copies of documents from Board meetings where their request for an audit had been discussed.
In response to these developments, the Secretariat labeled the clergymen’s claims as false, suggesting that they were untruthful regarding the cause of their resignation.
Bridget Otoo expressed her disapproval of this claim, implying that the secretariat had portrayed the clergymen as dishonest in their actions.
“It’s ironic that the National Cathedral is calling Duncan Williams & Eastwood Anaba liars. Isn’t that the same board that has a man with a fraudulent double identity – Rev. Kusi Boateng and Kwabena Adu Gyamfi,” she tweeted on Thursday, October 19.
Rev. Kusi Boateng, Secretary to the Board of Trustees, has faced accusations of a double identity and alleged shell companies for several months, with North Tongu legislator Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa bringing these allegations to light.
The court ruling confirmed evidence that the names Kusi Boateng and Adu Gyamfi were used to register different companies.
