The National Cathedral Secretariat has described scandals being raised by the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as distortions of information on projects.
The National Cathedral Secretariat made these remarks in a press release sighted by Thinknewsonline.com.
Executive Director of the National Cathedral of Ghana, Dr. Paul Opoku-Mensah said "But, this distortion is neither the result of an accident, nor of ignorance. It reflects the modus operandi of the MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa. All his so-called "National Cathedral scandals" are distortions of information on the project"
"As we have consistently argued, and repeated in our Press Release of yesterday May 3, 2023, "the National Cathedral Project has been implemented with integrity, and with no criminality. As with the recklessly-populist and reputationally-damaging accusations of the McCarthy era in the USA, the misinformation and distortions on the National Cathedral project will — ultimately — unravel"
The release also that the unrveling of the so-called "Identity Theft" is just the beginning!
"Following the publication of the Vol 1 of the of the so-called "bombshells" on the National Cathedral's activities in the USA, the MP for North Tongu and Ranking member on Foreign Affairs in Ghana's Parliament, Hon Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa followed up with "Episode 2" this morning, Thursday May 4, 2023 at 6.09am"
"Titled "Episode 2 of "National" Cathedral Scandals — America Edition", it is prefaced, once again, by such lack of knowledge of the US system. As a Ghanaian, I find it extremely embarrassing to see these expressed by the Ranking Member of Foreign Affairs in the Country's Parliament. The main body of Episode 2, however, is the malicious accusation that the National Cathedral is guilty of the serious crime of "identity theft" in the registration of the National Cathedral Foundation in the USA"
The release also mentioned that jn arriving at this so-called Identity theft, the MP distorted the information on the registration documents by taking the Taxpayer ID number: 86-3859197 (Appendix I ), and disingenuously changes it to the social security number, SSN: 863-85-9197 belonging to a deceased named, Jose Salgado (Appendix 2).
He, therefore accused the National Cathedral of using the "stolen" identity of the deceased to register.
