Social media reactions have trailed the appeal by government that Ghanaians contribute financially towards the building of a National Cathedral in the capital Accra.
Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, on Thursday (July 29, 2021) appealed to Ghanaians to help the government with fundraising eforts to help with the building of the proposed National Cathedral.
He told Parliament as part of his presentation of the mid-year budget review that government had acquired a short code to which citizens can donate GH¢100 each month towards the project.
The response on social media has been varied but largely critical of government and its plans.
There are those who choose to see the hilarious aspect of the move whiles for others, for as long as it was a voluntary endeavour, critics were making a fuss about nothing.
From celebreties, social commentators and ordinary Twitter users, government might as well use this fundraising method for other pressing interventions in the provision of social infrastructure and amenities.
