To support the National Cathedral, a tax expert suggests a 10% fee on churches.

 



Francis Timore Boi, a tax analyst, is calling for the imposition of a 10% fee on the gross earnings of churches in order to collect cash for the construction of the National Cathedral.

He insists that the move is rooted in the Bible, which remains the Christian community's direction.

Francis Timore Boi stated that using ordinary taxes to build the cathedral would be unwise.


"Why should we take taxpayers' money from the consolidated fund to support [the National Cathedral]? I don't think it's going in the right way. However, as a Christian, I feel that this should be supported by the Ghanaian church community.

The best we can do is charge churches between 5% and 10% of their total revenue over a five-year period so that the funds may be used to complete this project."

This is in response to the Cathedral Secretariat's financial difficulties in obtaining the necessary funds to complete the project.

The National Cathedral project has been fraught with controversy, with many Ghanaians questioning the wisdom of the government funding a monument that is believed to represent President Akufo-personal Addo's commitment to God.


The Secretariat started the GHS100 per month project, popularly known as "Ketoa Biaa Nsua," with the goal of attracting one million Ghanaians to contribute the money.

President Akufo-Addo has stated that the promise he made to God would be honored, and the National Cathedral will be finished, with the help of the Christian community.
