Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has revealed fresh details about the National Cathedral of Ghana project after a trip to the United States.
The legislator says he applied for and received registration documents of the project from the US authorities.
In his Facebook post on May 2, Mr Ablakwa noted that the documents contained only three persons listed as board members, one being the Executive Secretary of the project Dr. Paul Opoku-Mensah and two others.

The two individuals, the MP says are in no way connected with the project publicly.
He further revealed that "Articles of Incorporation we have secured from the District of Columbia Government's Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (corporation's division) confirm that a nonprofit corporation has been registered known as the "National Cathedral of Ghana and Bible Museum Foundation, Inc."

"The names of governors and authorized persons as contained in the Two-Year Report for Domestic & Foreign Filing Entity are: Dr. Paul Opoku-Mensah, Eric Okyere Darko and Dr. Vernon Darko."
He questioned why no members of the Board of Trustees back home, some of whom are eminent clergymen respected even in the United States, were not included in the documentation.

"Curiously, we have also discovered that none of the prominent Ministers of the Gospel who serve as Trustees of the National Cathedral of Ghana feature in the articles of incorporation and list of governors as submitted to US authorities.

Ablakwa also says he discovered that the address provided on both the "National" Cathedral of Ghana website and to US authorities may be inaccurate.
In the statement, Mr Ablakwa says he visited the documented address in Washington, DC; 'National Cathedral of Ghana and Bible Museum Foundation, Inc. 1090 Vermont AVE NW, Washington, DC 20005.'
However, his checks from the property managers determined that the National Cathedral of Ghana and Bible Museum Foundation, Inc. had never been a tenant there.
"Indeed, none of the offices of the 12-floor apartment building has ever been occupied by the National Cathedral of Ghana and Bible Museum Foundation, Inc. or any agency representing this entity."

According to him, the managers of the property were furious and concluded that the matter "was simply criminal."
