President Mahama makes clear stance on National Cathedral project

<p>President Mahama questions continuation of National Cathedral project at current location</p> <p>President John Dramani Mahama has clearly stated his position on the continuation of the National Cathedral project he inherited from the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration.</p> <p>Speaking at a recent event, the President noted that, even though he had made a commitment to continue projects left behind by the previous administration, the National Cathedral project was different.</p> <p>He explained that his commitment was to continue all national projects the previous government left behind, but the National Cathedral project was a personal pledge to God made by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, rather than a national project.</p> <p>“I made a promise that every policy I inherited, I would continue it as long as it's in the interest of the people. The National Cathedral... was not a national policy. It was a personal pledge by the former President,” President Mahama explained his reservations about continuing the National Cathedral project in its current state, including its current location and the use of taxpayer funds to complete it.</p> <p>“I made a promise that every policy and every project that I inherit, I will continue it as long as it's in the interest of the people, and I have largely done that. Almost all the projects and policies we inherited, we have continued.</p> <p><em>Source: GhanaWeb</em></p>
