Speaking in a gathering with the Western Regional House of Chiefs at the Flagstaff House, he said “the IMF balance of payment will go a long way to help the country”. But then, the president asserted that the capital expenditure on projects will carry on but may encounter some delays.

“We need to ensure that all capital expenditure projects are completed, but there will be some temporary delays while we are making the agreements with the IMF and that is what is we are experiencing now. But at the end of the day, we will get an arrangement that allows us to continue the projects”.

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu on Tuesday, 24th January, 2023 alarmed that the National Cathedral project will cost the taxpayer a total of $1 billion but not $400 million as the government and the associates of the Board of Trustees claimed.

Hon. Okudzeto on many events brought up the issue with how the National Cathedral is of no importance in this time of economic hardships, he said in an interview on Citi TV that the $400 million is being casually discussed without consideration by the government as the total cost of the project and has totally refused to acknowledge other factors that would make the the total cost to shoot over $1 billion.
