Public anger has intensified following new revelations about Dr. Paul Opoku-Mensah, the CEO of the National Cathedral project, who allegedly withdrew a gross salary of GHC 29,838 for September.
Malik Basintale, a prominent figure on social media, criticized this high salary at a time when the nation struggles to fund essential services, such as the renal unit, which is facing a GHC 2-million shortfall.
Basintale, who has been vocal about the controversial National Cathedral project,described it as “the world’s most expensive hole” and called out the government’s prioritization of the Cathedral over critical healthcare needs.
He expressed outrage at what he perceives as government officials being paid lavishly, while the public faces hardship. He warned that the government would be held accountable, signaling growing public frustration.
The controversy around the Cathedral project has stirred significant debate, with many questioning the allocation of taxpayer funds, especially given the halted status of the project since 2022.
Basintale’s post has since gone viral, with netizens condemning what they see as financial mismanagement and a lack of transparency. The public now awaits further responses as tensions rise, and demands for accountability continue to grow.
