According to him, the construction of a national shrine would not be unrealistic since the Islamic and Christian faiths in the country have a national mosque and national cathedral respectively. “Since I took office, as I said, we have a national mosque and now we are in the process of building a national cathedral. There was a group of Wulom?i [Ga Traditional Priests] who also approached me and actually asked for a traditional shrine,” he said. Charity CommissionMr Dzamesi also announced plans to set up a charity commission to evaluate and audit the humanitarian activities of churches.
