Rev. Kusi Boateng, secretary of the National Cathedral Board of Trustees, has reassured his church's faithful that he is innocent of the accusations leveled against him by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, member of parliament for North Tongu.
He says he will go through this situation ‘honourably’ and come out of it.
“Stop the fights and all these arguments. The question is that, is your Father [Rev Kusi Boateng] okay? I am 100 percent okay. The question is your father happy? I am super happy.
“The question is that, is your father going to go through this? I promise you I will go through it honourably. So every one of you should relax, be happy, and don’t waste your time fighting on Facebook, waste your time pushing the agenda of the expansion, post messages, preaching to people, let everybody know that surely it is our year of expansion, tell your neighbor I am alright,” he said in his church on Sunday, January 22.
Mr. Ablakwa has been accusing the preacher of a number of things in relation to the National Cathedral project.
The opposition member claims Rev Kusi Boateng is the third "mystery" director of JNS Talent Cantre Limited, a business he previously charged with receiving an unauthorized financial transfer of GH2.6 million from the Secretariat.
“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 and Director,” he said.
He further stated that there is no specific Kwabena Adu Gyamfi. The criminal Kwabena Adu Gyamfi was conceived by Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng.
"The two are therefore one and the same," he said.
“Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng, AKA Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, thought he had outwitted every Ghanaian, particularly our authorities, whom he dribbled for many years; but the day of reckoning is finally here.”
Further requesting that the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) investigate the situation is Mr. Ablakwa
But in a statement in response, Rev. Kusi Boateng said he welcomed the CHRAJ's investigation.
“I wish to assure the public that the statements made by Mr. Ablakwa are a twisted narration of events to pursue a malicious political agenda. There has never been any criminal intent or any crime committed in my dealings with the government of Ghana or the National Cathedral,” he said.
