Vicky Bright is a former legal advisor to John Agyekum Kufuor
A former Legal Advisor to former President John Agyekum Kufuor, Vicky Bright, has weighed in on the National Cathedral controversy following findings from an audit report alleging financial misappropriation in the project’s management.
In a damning verdict, she stated that the cathedral project was plagued by scandals and mired in controversies from its inception, a situation she believes doomed it to fail from the start.
Bright referenced issues such as alleged theft, corruption, and procurement breaches, among other disclosures made by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, during his oversight duties while in opposition.
She argued that due to the controversies surrounding the cathedral project, God, whom the structure was meant to honor, would not associate Himself with it.
She drew parallels to the biblical account of David, whose offer to build a temple was rejected by God because he had shed blood and was deemed unfit for such a sacred task.
“All I’ll say is that this thing was doomed from the start. I’m a Christian and as much as God loved King David, when he did what he did, what did God say to him? He loved him probably more than most people in the Bible and Jesus came from his lineage. And what did he say to him? He said, because you have dirtied yourself, you will not build my house.
“So, when you are stealing, there’s corruption, there are procurement breaches, there are people with all sorts of different identities, and all the rest of it. This reverend, whatever his name was, and all the things that thanks to Okudzeto Ablakwa we all got to know about, I mean there’s no way that God is going to associate himself with this,” she said.
