Cathedral Donation: Ofori-Atta Needs Fundraising Lessons From The Boy “Our Day”

• Sam George mocked Ken Ofori-Atta about the National Cathedral fundraising initiative

• Sam George asked Ken Ofori-Atta to go and take a lesson from Oswald

• Government calls on Ghanaians to donate 100 GHC per month for the project

Sam Nartey George MP for Ningo Prampram joked that Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta should seek advice from Oswald, the nine-year-old boy who has become an internet sensation for his “Our Day” petition to his mother on how he (the minister) can raise funds for the national cathedral project.

Sam George in a tweet mocked the fact that Oswald had apparently raised more donations for his Our Day celebrations and asked him to teach Ken Ofori-Atta how he managed to achieve it.

“Right now #Oswald is leading the Minister of Finance with his donations received. Maybe he needs to show KOA (Ken Ofori-Atta) how it’s done, ”he said.

Sam George’s comment follows a call by the minister for Ghanaians to donate at least GH ¢ 100 per month for the completion of the project.

Providing an update on the construction of the National Cathedral during the mid-year budget review handover on Thursday, July 29, 2021, Ofori-Atta said the government hopes to complete it in 2024.

“Work on the National Cathedral is progressing rapidly. When completed, the National Cathedral would provide a sacred space for formal state religious activities and symbolize the tremendous contribution of faith to nation building, ”he said.

“This state-church partnership envisaged by the president to develop the national cathedral is on track. An initiative, the GH ¢ 100 per month also dubbed ‘Ketoa Biaa Nsua, will be launched by the administrators of the National Cathedral on August 12, 2021, to give the greatest number of Ghanaians the opportunity to be part of the history of the National Cathedral Cathedral “.

“A special shortcode 979 has been developed for this purpose as we look forward to the president and all members of this house to join the GH ₵ 100 per month initiative,” he added.
