Deloitte and Touche auditors discovered that National Cathedral management paid Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng $103,000 for housing expenses between January 2021 and December 2022. The clergyman received these funds while overseeing the cathedral construction project from his base in Kumasi. Cathedral officials justified the payments by citing his need for Accra accommodation at a Cantonments property. The rental agreement specified $4,500 monthly payments, yet records show only $3,000 was actually paid each month. This discrepancy has drawn criticism from observers who question the financial management practices.
The audit found no supporting documents to verify the rental arrangement or validate the accommodation necessity. Rev. Kusi Boateng has previously faced controversy regarding identity issues that remain unresolved. Government officials have acknowledged that millions of cedis and dollars may have been misused during the project. The Ghana Audit Service will conduct another investigation into the cathedral's financial operations following these revelations.
