Ghana’s stalled national cathedral is an issue of immense public concern and controversy, for two reasons: first, it is unclear if anyone will be prosecuted for what the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has identified as severe procurement breaches in the construction process, recommending that the Board of Trustees be investigated.
