Mr. Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a member of the presidential staff, has questioned the sincerity of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) legislators’ opposition to the building of the National Cathedral.

Speaking on the Key Points on TV3 on December 24, he said that even in the midst of the current economic circumstances, the same persons who are raising economic objections to the project have profited from very capital-intensive programs, including a $25 million loan to purchase vehicles.

He also said that the Ho Airport was built for $25 million by the NDC administration, despite the fact that the nation was experiencing significant economic hardships, such as power shortages.

“Where was the justification when we spent $ 25 million to build the Ho airport which is now a white elephant?” he questioned.

The Office of the President’s Director of Local Government and Decentralization noted, “$25 million was spent at a period when Ho’s residents lacked access to a market.

Many individuals questioned the economic feasibility of the airport’s location at the time it was planned to be built.

“Togbe Afede advised that half of the money for the Ho Airport should be used to construct the road to Ho but it was not listened to and today, that Airport is a white elephant.”

He emphasized saying, “the Ho airport was built at a time this country had dumsor, this county had health insurance that was near collapsed, this country at that had 88 districts without hospitals.

“The construction of the airport had economic value, the same way the cathedral has economic value.”
