National Cathedral: CHARJ recommends possible prosecution of Board of Trustees

The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) is considering prosecuting the Board of Trustees for the National Cathedral project. This proposed prosecution concerns their role in awarding the contract, which CHRAJ has determined violated procurement laws.

The proposed prosecution aligns with their role in awarding the contract which CHRAJ has concluded breaches procurement laws.

“The Commission further recommends for further investigation and possible prosecution of the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral who superintended over the award of the contract to Ribade Company in disregard to Act 663 as amended,” the report stated.

This was contained in CHRAJ’s report following an investigation into a petition filed by North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa in January 2023.

Mr Ablakwa petitioned CHRAJ to investigate Rev. Kusi Boateng, Secretary to the National Cathedral Board of Trustees, over claims of conflict of interest, alleged possession of multiple identities, and other alleged improprieties.

However, CHRAJ has exonerated Reverend Kusi Boateng who is also the leader and founder of the Power House Chapel.

Mr Ablakwa’s petition had also alleged that there was a transfer of GH¢2.6 million in cash from the National Cathedral Secretariat to JNS Talent Centre Limited owned by Rev. Kusi-Boateng under his secondary identity, Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.

However, CHRAJ concluded that no service was rendered by the JNS Talent Centre Limited owned by Rev. Kusi-Boateng under his secondary identity, Kwabena Adu Gyamfi and that there was no evidence of the said payment, thus clearing him of conflict of interest.
