“Ketoa biaa nsua”:Ghanaians to donate GH¢100 each month to help fund National Cathedral project
President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has through the finance minister announced plans to make Ghanaians donate GH¢100 a month towards the building of the National Cathedral.
Ken Ofori Atta, the Finance Minister in his address to parliament on Thursday during the reading of the Mid Year budget review made the announcement.
Mr. Ken Ofori Atta told parliament that a 100 Cedis a month club will be launched soon to motivate and appeal to Ghanaians to contribute towards the building of the National Cathedral.
He said ‘The “100 cedis a Month club” which will be launched on August 12th, 2021 is aimed at opening the door to the general public to contribute towards the building of the National Cathedral in Accra’. The initiative has been dubbed “ketoa biaa nsua” to wit, “no amount is too small”.
The discourse surrounding the building of the National Cathedral has been going on since the president demolished the residence of the High Court Judges to pave way for the project. The Judges’ buildings were less than 5 years since they were built as at the time the president demolished them.
Since the project was announced, many Ghanaians have stood against the president’s proposed project with statements saying that shouldn’t be a priority at the moment as there are many unemployed graduates, school kids are studying under trees, bad roads and unsatisfying medical care etc in the country.
