The Minority caucus through a vote of 11-10 kicked out the GHS80 million budgetary allocation to parliament.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The budget estimate for the cathedral was decides by a joint committees of parliament including the Committee of Trade and Industry, Youth and Sports, Culture and Tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a spirit of determination to quash the budgetary allocation, the Minority defeated the outrageous and sleazy GHS80 million Cathedral budgetary allocation .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The allocation was contained in the Appropriations Bill of the 2023 fiscal policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ranking Member on the Trade and Industry Committee, Hon Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah,, said the Ministry failed to convince them about the allocation and also account for the over GH\u00a2300 million already spent on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, officials of the Ministry of Finance could also not give ample reason for the allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minority members on the Committee, therefore, called for voting to decide the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of the time of voting, they were more than the Majority members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minority, therefore, won by an 11-10 majority votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, the other allocations of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture were approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe asked for a vote and I think today God was on the people of Ghana\u2019s side. We voted and we were in the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Member of Parliament for Ellembelle Constituency, however, expressed concerns that the Majority may use their numbers to overturn this decision when it gets to the plenary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, he assured, Ghanaians should be content that no more funds will be pumped into the controversial project from the government coffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
