The National Cathedral Secretariat has taken off the name of Pastor Dr Mensa Otabil from membership of Board of Trustees.
This comes after it was widely speculated that the founder and leader of International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) left the group over financial irregularities.

On the website, the membership of the board of trustees shows that there are only 12 people. It is not clear why the renowned preacher name has been removed from the list, but, it lends credence to claims he is unhappy with transactional anomalies.
Joy News report that, forceful attempts to get him to rescind his decision to leave the board failed compelling the National Cathedral Secretariat to amend the information on its website to reflect his exit.
Member of Parliament for the Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa was the first person to leak the information to the general public that Dr Mensa Otabil has left the board of trustees.
According to the National Democratic Congress MP, Dr Otabil washed his hands off the project because of several instances of illegality and irregularity that have been committed by some top government officials in the ongoing process to up the edifice.

Mr Ablakwa, who remains one of the outspoken critics of the controversial project, said he is reliably informed that Dr Otabil stopped attending meetings of the board of trustees for at least one year.
“I am not surprised that there is quite an uneasy calm among the Board of Trustees. And I can confirm to you that one imminent priest has walked away from the Board; the revered Dr Mensa Otabil is no longer with them.
“The whole year, he has not attended any of their meetings. It is not clear what his intention was, but he has given indication that all is not well,” Mr Ablakwa told Joy News on Sunday, June 12, 2022.
