Former President John Mahama has recently stated that the National Cathedral project can be completed at a reasonable cost without relying on state funds. This declaration has reignited discussions surrounding the controversial project, and has also raised questions about the sources of funding and the financial viability of the project going forward. This declaration has brought the project back to the forefront of public conversation.



Mahama's position suggests that private sources should be explored to fund the remainder of the project rather than depending on government funds. He stated that the financial burden of the project should not fall on the Ghanaian taxpayer and that private donors and other private sources are an avenue that should be fully explored. This statement reflects a different approach to the financing of the National Cathedral project.



The ongoing National Cathedral project has been the subject of much discussion, and Mahama’s statement has added another perspective to the debate. His opinion now joins the many discussions regarding the use of public funds, and the appropriateness of this specific project. The debate about the project continues to be ongoing and this statement has added more fuel to the fire.



This statement highlights the diverse opinions surrounding the National Cathedral project and the complexities of its funding. It is now a reminder of the importance of transparency, especially when large amounts of public funds are involved. Mahama's statement invites further discussion about the future of this project and the most appropriate way of seeing it through to its completion.
