The government is urging citizens to contribute financially to the building of a National Cathedral
Actress Lydia Forson believes such a call is misplaced
She believes such initiatives, even where necessary, should go towards building hospitals, schools or fixing roads
Actress Lydia Forson has reacted to the appeal by the government that Ghanaians contribute financially towards the building of a National Cathedral in the capital Accra.
Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, on Thursday, appealed to Ghanaians to help the government with fundraising efforts to help with the building of the proposed National Cathedral.
He said the government had acquired a short code to which citizens can donate GH¢100 each month towards the project.
But for Forson, it is worrying that the government will seek public support for such a project when it has yet to do so for hospitals, killer roads and for children studying under trees.
“Did I just hear that our government wants us to do susu for a cathedral THEY wanted and not us??!!
“Not susu for hospitals oh
“Not susu for roads killing people every day
“Not susu for students learning under trees oh
“SUSU FOR A CATHEDRAL!!” she posted on Twitter.
The post has attracted 80 retweets and 393 likes at the time of filing this report with most comments slamming the government for lacking in the area of priority.
