Following the online release of the executive secretary of the National Cathedral‘s payslip, Ghanaians are currently furious on social media.
Ghanaians are particularly upset with the President’s choice to use public funds to construct the National Cathedral, which he claimed was his promise to God.
After nearly eight years, the only remnant of the site marked out for the cathedral is a hole that residents of Ghana have dubbed the most costly hole on the planet.
Members of the National Cathedral board continue to get wages, which are reportedly funded by state funds even though there hasn’t been any maintenance done at the site in years.
The deputy communication officer of the National Democratic Congress Malik Basintale has dropped the July 2024 payslip of Dr. Paul Yaw Opoku-Mensah who is the Executive secretary for the cathedral.
To the astonishment of citizens, he was paid Ghc29,838 which means he has been receiving payment despite no work being done for over two years.
Malik Basintale shared: “PaySlip of one of the leaders of the National cathedral. He is being paid Ghc29,838 every month for being the CEO (Executive secretary) of the world’s most expensive hole. His name is Dr. Paul Yaw Opoku-Mensah. A candidate for Jail. Yet, Innocent protestors are being arrested and remanded. More soon…..”
