flag Ghana’s president vows legal action over $97M cathedral fund misuse, with project to become cultural center.

flag President John Dramani Mahama has pledged full legal consequences for anyone found guilty of embezzling funds from Ghana’s National Cathedral project, following a forensic audit that revealed unsupported payments, weak financial controls, and poor contract management between 2021 and 2023. flag The Auditor-General’s office commissioned the audit after a Deloitte Ghana report highlighted risks to the project’s sustainability and significant deficiencies in documentation and revenue reconciliation. flag The project, which cost about $97 million, is under scrutiny amid public concern over rising expenses and lack of transparency. flag While the government maintains that investigations are ongoing and accountability will be enforced, the stalled cathedral is now planned to be repurposed into a National Cultural Convention Centre to boost Ghana’s creative economy and cultural diplomacy.
