National Cathedral Scandal: Ablakwa Petitions CHRAJ Over Rev Victor Kusi Boateng

The Member of Parliament for the North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto has petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) over what he says is a conflict of interest on the part of the National Cathedral Ghana Executive Council Member of the Board of Trustees, Rev Victor Kusi Boateng.

The MP will not end there, he intends to summon the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration and the Finance Minister when Parliament resumes to answer questions.

The legislator in a social media post revealed Rev Kusi Boateng uses two identities.

The legislator had earlier revealed the country made a payment of GHC2.6 million to one JNS Talent Centre Limited, a company co-owned by three identified as Johannes Eshun, Sheila Eshun and Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.

His investigations, he said, revealed that Rev Kusi Boateng is the same as Kwabena Adu Gyamfi who co-owns JNS.

“Unimpeachable and incontrovertible evidence confirms that Mr Kwabena Adu Gyamfi is the famous Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng who still serves on the National Cathedral Board as an Executive Council Member/Director. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no distinct Kwabena Adu Gyamfi. Kwabena Adu Gyamfi is a criminal creation of Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng. The two are therefore one and the same.”

He finds the transfer as a conflict of interest.

“Clearly, Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng AKA Kwabena Adu Gyamfi sat on the Cathedral board and literally paid his own company a staggering GHS2.6 million for no work done. When the siphoning was completed, they captured the same as “Contractors Mobilization” and presented it to Parliament hoping that they would legitimize the dubious transaction and therefore get away with murder.”

On Monday, January 16 2023, he petitioned CHRAJ about this in accordance with Article 218 of the 1992 Constitution to investigate the “odious conflict of interest”.

Ablakwa found that Rev Kusi Boateng has two personalities with different dates of birth; different passports; different Tax Identification Numbers (TINs); different professions (Business Man and Prophet) and different addresses.

He intends he will file an urgent question to summon Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey and Ken Ofori Atta when Parliament reconvenes over the development.
