The Attorney General, Gloria Akuffo, has been dragged before the Supreme court by a member of the Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP), James Kwabena Bomfeh over government\u2019s decision to build a national cathedral.<\/p>\n
According to Mr Bomfeh, government must not be engaged in religious affairs within the country and therefore it’s assistance to Muslim pilgrims through the hajj board must be declared unconstitutional and illegal.<\/p>\n
In his writ, he is seeking \u201ca declaration that the decision of the Government of Ghana to purposely endorse, assist, aid, partly sponsor, and\/or support the construction of a National Cathedral near the State House of Ghana, for Christian interdenominational church services amounts to an excessive entanglement of the Republic of Ghana and religion and therefore unconstitutional\u201d.<\/p>\n
