But in the midst of all opposition from Ghanaians, government still went ahead to demolish structures meant to house Judges to build a cathedral.
While government has denied using state fund to build the Cathedral, events leading up to the building of the Cathedral has rather exposed the untrustworthy of the Akufo Addo led government.
In all, some 100 million dollars is projected to be the cost of building the Cathedral with top Government official begging the general public to donate to build the Cathedral.
In a latest development on the building of the Cathedral, Vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called on the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and other faith-based organizations to voluntarily contribute funds to build the national cathedral.
Dr Bawumia is confident the building of the cathedral will uplift the glory of God.

It is very important that we build the cathedral, it is a voluntary exercise, anyone who wants to contribute can contribute. I have contributed and I will contribute more so I encourage everybody to think about it and let us build it. It is not for anybody, it is for Ghana and for the glory of God”
