The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has brought to light a list of properties that were demolished just to make way for the construction of the National Cathedral.
The MP took to Twitter to share the list which features an array of properties belonging to prominent individuals and organisations.
“Judges’ Bungalows, Judicial Training Institute, Passport Head Office” the tweet stated.
It added the “Scholarship Secretariat, Malian Ambassador’s Residence, Comsys Ghana Limited, Waterstone Realty Apartment Complex and CHRAJ Deputy Commissioner’s Residence.”
Ablakwa’s tweet emphasised his disbelief at the number of properties that were sacrificed for the construction of the National Cathedral.
According to the MP, he can’t wait for a parliamentary probe into the controversies surrounding the national cathedral to begin.
“Never again in our history should such presidential recklessness be tolerated. I really can’t wait for the Parliamentary probe to begin. Ghana First,” the tweet concluded.
