President John Dramani Mahama has stated that anyone found to have misappropriated funds in the National Cathedral project will face the full rigors of the law.

Speaking during a sod-cutting ceremony for the Sunyani-Atronie-Achrensua project on Sunday, December 21, 2025, he stated, “The $97 million used to dig the pit for the National Cathedral will be thoroughly scrutinized. We have requested the Auditor-General to conduct a forensic audit to expose any wrongdoing. Anyone found to have embezzled state funds will face the law, so we have not abandoned the matter; investigations are ongoing.”

An audit report by Deloitte Ghana covering 2021 to 2023 has revealed millions of cedis in unsupported payments, weak financial controls, and material risks threatening the project’s sustainability.
The report pointed out gaps in documentation, contract management, and revenue reconciliation, raising serious concerns over the cathedral’s financial discipline.
