\n\tThe National Cathedral of Ghana<\/a>, a $400 million building in Accra that is being designed by architect David Adjaye<\/a>\u2018s firm, will reportedly be investigated after concerns were raised about its cost.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe cathedral had been the source of controversy in Ghana well before Adjaye was accused of sexual misconduct<\/a> in 2023. Adjaye has categorically denied those claims of misconduct, which were first reported by the Financial Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tHis firm, Adjaye Associates, is currently at work on a building for the Studio Museum in Harlem. Prior to the claims of misconduct, Adjaye was one of the most celebrated architects in the world. Among his most acclaimed projects is the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Ghanaian British architect first revealed designs for the National Cathedral of Ghana in 2018. In the years since, the cathedral has been fiercely debated among Ghanaian politicians, who have raised questions about its funding. In 2022, one Ghanaian politician even implored Adjaye to personally return the $21.4 million fee his firm received<\/a> for the project.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, the BBC<\/em> reported<\/a> that President John Mahama will seek an investigation of the cathedral, the construction for which appears to be mostly stalled, according to this article. The National Cathedral of Ghana has previously denied that construction had reached a standstill. In 2023, Paul Okopu-Mensah, the project\u2019s executive director, said that \u201cthe idea that we just took funds and dug a hole is simply mischievous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMahama reportedly said that Ghana\u2019s Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice had recommended an audit into the building and inquiry into \u201cany misuse of public funds.\u201d The BBC<\/em> also reported that Cassiel Ato Forson, the Ghanaian finance minister, said that public funds will no longer be used to support the cathedral.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt appears that the cathedral may not be nixed entirely, however, even as some politicians have urged Mahama to end it altogether. \u201cWe can reach a more reasonable figure for achieving such a project and together we can raise the funding for it,\u201d he reportedly said.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdjaye Associates declined to comment. ARTnews<\/em> was unable to reach a representative for the National Cathedral of Ghana.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
