Nana Addo and his ministers lied about the cathedral. they said public funding won\u2019t go into it beyond the land. They told the Supreme Court that too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2. Then they paid 25 million cedis quietly. When they were found out; they said it was just seed money. You looked the other way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3. Then they paid the architect 32 million cedis to the Architect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>4. Then they paid 142 million for \u201cplanned activities\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>5. So nearly 200 million cedis of our money was paid to the Cathedral. None of that money was authorized by Parliament. When only Parliament has the power of the purse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>6. Yet, we have all raised our hands in the air because we don\u2019t know what to do. The story will die and they will provide the rest of the estimated 150,000,000 to top up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>7. In which world, do you see systems improve where a President can spend 200 milllion dollars without accountability.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Oliver said. <\/p>\n<p>Other notable journalists equally shared their views on what they claimed to be a lie being told to Ghanaians by the current government. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/5a38d51915ed451391b058afcd90e10c\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/521f1d5ce4b74566a143bd59b54a7d4d\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Leave a comment on his take. <\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Osafo Boamah (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
