The Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Abena Osei Asare, has informed Parliament that an amount of GH₵339 million has been released for the National Cathedral project.
According to her, the amount was committed by the ministry to ensure that the National Cathedral project had the necessary funding.
Addressing Parliament on July 3, she said "From the onset the Ministry of Finance mentioned that our contribution to the National Cathedral would be the land and some seed money and this was in the previous year's budget."
Although the project has stalled for months and still at the foundation level, she assured that there has been value-for-money per an audit of the project so far.
