Deputy Communications Director for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Malik Basintale has sworn that the NDC will retrieve monies from persons who have profited from the building of the national cathedral.
Member of Parliament for North Tongu in his series of investigations on the National Cathedral has disclosed that some persons within the board of trustees have made millions from the project.
He cites the architect among others as beneficiaries of what he describes as free money which needs to be retrieved.
“I thought that the Vice President would be telling us how they would retrieve our money, the $58.1 million. Ghanaians have been apprised of how huge sums of money were diverted to all kinds of characters.
“As we speak, a gentleman called Kari Samers is keeping our $6 million. The Vice President must be concerned, many architects in our country who are Christians, who are God-fearing if they were put together would have designed it for free to the glory of God. In one of the documents I intercepted just for redesigning one restaurant, David Ajaye was paid $5.7 million. So the Vice President should be talking about retrievals, that is what we want to hear,” he said.
Speaking on John Dramani Mahama’s promise of retrieving all stolen monies from appointees in the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration, Malik Basintale indicated that they will not only retrieve the monies but will also give them shovels to cover the hole they have created in the name of National Cathedral.
