from Deep Dive: Stories from The Labari Journal

This episode details a Deloitte audit report that uncovers significant financial irregularities and governance failures within Ghana's National Cathedral project. It highlights how the $350 million initiative, launched in 2017, has been plagued by mismanagement, including discrepancies in payments to architect Sir David Adjaye's firm, payments made without signed contracts, and unapproved extra work. Furthermore, the report identifies repeated violations of Ghana’s Public Procurement Act, criticizing the single-source tendering process and the non-compliant composition of the procurement committee.
