Duncan-Williams and Eastwood Anaba resign from national cathedral board

Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and President of the Eastwood Anaba Ministries, Rev. Eastwood Anaba, have tendered their resignations from the Board of Trustees overseeing the construction of the National Cathedral.

The decision stems from the government’s failure to appoint an independent accounting firm to audit all public funds contributed to the National Cathedral project.

In a joint statement signed by both Archbishop Duncan-Williams and Rev. Anaba, they expressed disappointment in the lack of action regarding their earlier call for an independent audit of the project.

The statement read, “Despite our prayers, best hopes and wishes, unfortunately, a needed audit to help restore public confidence and trust in this consequential project has not been enacted to the best of our knowledge. Since January 2023, we awaited news to no avail, regarding the finding of the audit.”

These eminent clergymen had previously urged for an immediate suspension of the National Cathedral’s construction pending a comprehensive audit.

They also highlighted the challenging economic climate in Ghana, emphasising that it makes timely completion of the project unattainable. As a result, they called for a suspension of the project until there’s a noticeable improvement in the country’s economic prospects.
