Reasons why Duncan Williams and Eastwood Anaba Resigned as National Cathedral Board of Trustees
Those who are already strong opponents of the project have been shocked by the departure of two renowned clerics from the National Cathedral Board of Trustees.
On Tuesday, October 17, 2023, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-William and Reverend Eastwood Anaba submitted their resignations, stating two key justifications.
In January 2023 as Trustees of the Board of Trustees, we submitted a draft Resolution to the said Board resolving that current activities, advancing the construction of Ghana’s National Cathedral be deferred until the findings of an audit. This deferment included a cessation of activities of the Board of Trustees. Specifically, our Resolution stated, “In the spirit and cause of transparency and accountability to the Ghanaian people, the current Board of Trustees of The National Cathedral shall appoint an independent accounting firm to audit all public funds contributed to The National Cathedral. This appointment of an auditor shall take place before the deferment of the activities of the Board of Trustees.”
Despite our prayers, best hopes and wishes, unfortunately, a needed audit to help restore public confidence and trust in this consequential project has not been enacted to the best of our knowledge. Since January 2023, we awaited news to no avail.
