Every member of the National Cathedral’s Procurement Committee served without signing legally mandated Oaths of Secrecy a violation of Ghana’s procurement laws (Page 24).
Deloitte confirmed unsigned documents only listed names, voiding legal enforceability.
This gap coincided with unchecked expenditures:
– GH¢5,300 unaccounted from blogger payments (Page 36)
– GH¢117,180 in unauthorized rental payments to Board Secretary Victor Kusi Boateng
– No procurement unit or contract register (Page 56)
Management claimed members “verbally agreed” to secrecy, but auditors noted this invalidated procurement decisions. The committee approved $500K+ budgets without documentation.
The unsigned oaths undermined accountability for GH¢469M in audited expenses
