The Minister of Finance, Dr Mohammed Anim Adam is scheduled to appear before Parliament on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, to address an urgent question posed by Deputy Majority Leader Patricia Appiagyei regarding the expenditure of the National Cathedral project.

Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has stated that the Minister will be required to provide detailed information on the project’s expenditures and confirm whether a value-for-money audit has been conducted.

Deputy Majority Leader Appiagyei has emphasized the importance of the Minister’s appearance to ensure transparency in the use of public funds for the National Cathedral.

The Minister is expected to furnish comprehensive financial details of the project and clarify whether a value-for-money audit has been conducted to ensure accountability and transparency.

Majority Leader Afenyo-Markin announced these proceedings on the floor of Parliament on Friday, June 28, 2024.

Ahead of the Finance Minister’s appearance, the Minority is pressing for broader accountability measures from the government.

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, MP for North Tongu Constituency, has urged the Speaker to enforce the House’s decision to establish a bipartisan committee to investigate the issues surrounding the project.
