I Expect National Cathedral Audit Report by the End of the Month - President Mahama

Accra, Ghana - 08 May, 2025 - President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to fighting corruption, announcing plans for an independent audit into the National Cathedral project initiated under the previous government.

In a national address marking his first 120 days in office on May 7, Mahama revealed that global audit firm Deloitte & Touche has been engaged to scrutinize the project.

The audit aims to provide transparency and accountability, with the report expected by the end of May. Mahama also disclosed that investigations are underway into the organization of the 13th African Games, with several officials already questioned.

According to Mahama, these actions are part of a broader framework of transparency and accountability measures he pledged during his campaign.

“The 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 declared.

“A number of officials have been invited and questioned concerning the 13th Africa Games,” he confirmed.

The move is seen as a step towards restoring public trust and ensuring accountability in government projects.

The National Cathedral project has been a subject of controversy, with concerns raised over its cost, management, and execution. The audit is expected to shed light on the project's financial dealings and provide clarity on its overall management.
