President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his government’s resolve to combat corruption, announcing an independent audit of the National Cathedral project initiated by the previous Akufo-Addo administration.
In a national address on Wednesday, May 7, marking his first 120 days in office, President Mahama revealed that global audit firm Deloitte has been tasked with auditing the controversial project.
“War against corruption continues unabated. Deloitte and Touche is conducting an independent audit of the National Cathedral project. I expect their report by the end of this month [May],” he stated.
President Mahama also disclosed that investigations are ongoing into other government initiatives, including the organisation of the 13th African Games.
“A number of officials have been invited and questioned concerning the 13th Africa Games,” he said.
These efforts form part of broader anti-corruption and accountability measures promised by Mahama during his campaign and reaffirmed in his early days in office.
