Media personality Bridget Otoo has strongly criticised the recent statement issued by the National Cathedral secretariat in response to the resignation of two prominent clergymen from the project’s Board of Trustees.
In a letter dated October 18, the secretariat disputed one of the key reasons provided by Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and Rev. Eastwood Anaba for their decision to step down.
The clergymen’s decision was what they believed was the lack of an audit into activities and expenditures relating to the project to ensure transparency and remove any corruption perception.
In his rebuttal on October 17, the Executive Director of the National Cathedral project, Dr. Paul Opoku-Mensah, asserted that an audit of the project was already in progress and refuted the claim of inaction.
Dr. Opoku-Mensah underlined that the clergymen had been supplied with all copies of documents from the Board meetings where their request for an audit of the project had been discussed.
In light of these developments, the Secretariat labeled the clergymen’s assertions as falsehoods, suggesting that they were untruthful regarding the cause of their resignation.
In response to this claim, Bridget Otoo expressed her disapproval, implying that the secretariat had portrayed the clergymen as dishonest in their actions.
“It’s ironic that the National Cathedral is calling Duncan Williams & Eastwood Anaba liars. Isn’t that the same board that has a man with a fraudulent double identity – Rev. kusi Boateng and Kwabena Adu Gyamfi,” she tweeted on Thursday, October 19.
For a few months now, Secretary to the Board of TrusteesRev. Kusi Boateng has faced numerous accusations specifically from North Tongu legislator Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa who first brought to the limelight the secretary’s double identity and alleged shell companies he had formed.
The court in its ruling stated that there is evidence that the names Kusi Boateng and Adu Gyamfi were used to register different companies.
