Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr. Nana Agyemang Badu II, Paramount Chief of Dormaa and President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs, has called for an immediate investigation into the $58 million reportedly spent on the National Cathedral project.
Addressing a gathering during former President John Dramani Mahama’s “Thank You” tour on Friday, May 30, the Dormaahene emphasized the need for accountability and justice, urging Mahama to take decisive action if re-elected.
“Do not be afraid to seek justice,” he said. “If fear prevents you from doing what is right, it will not serve the country well.”
He acknowledged his limited understanding of the project’s full details but insisted that the reported expenditure, especially in light of the stalled development, warranted a thorough probe.
“Whether it involves a pastor, a chief, or anyone else, the matter must be investigated. I don’t fully understand how $58 million ended up in a pit, but it cannot be ignored,” he stated.
The traditional ruler cautioned Mahama against dismissing the growing public concerns surrounding the issue and stressed that inaction would lead to widespread disappointment.
“Don’t allow anyone to convince you that this issue isn’t worth looking into. If you turn a blind eye, Ghanaians will feel betrayed,” he warned.
His comments reflect increasing public demand for clarity and transparency regarding the use of funds for the National Cathedral, a project that has been mired in controversy and delays.
