Rev Victor Kusi Boateng, the founder and leader of Power Chapel Worldwide, has declared his readiness to go to jail, claiming his association with former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia could send him to jail.
The man argued that nothing can stop his friendship with Dr Bawumia and his wife, former Second Lady Samira Bawumia, who was present at the event.
According to Kusi Boateng, Prison is not for animals, adding that it would not be the first time he has been incarcerated and he returned alive.
Speaking to his congregation in a viral video clip, the founder of Power Chapel Worldwide during a visit by Samira Bawumia, wife of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Rev Kusi Boateng stated, “I want to say on my own pulpit that I don’t care whoever thinks about it; Dr Bawumia is my friend and will continue to be my friend. I will not hide it. I’m not a hypocrite. And if for this reason anybody wants to imprison me, go ahead.
“Prison is not for animals. It’s for human beings. I’ve been there; I didn’t die, I came back. And so it is not a crime to be a friend. And I want to say that Dr Bawumia and Hajia Samira Bawumia are my friends, my sisters, my brothers, and my bosom friends, with no apology. Papa, am I right? With no apology, they are my friend,” he reiterated.
It will be recalled that Rev Kusi Boateng was the Executive Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral of Ghana project, which has been under investigation over corruption allegations surrounding the project.
His comments come on the heels of Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister of State for Government Communications, announcing that the forensic audit report into the National Cathedral is ready.
According to Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Attorney General received the forensic audit report into the National Cathedral last Friday and is currently studying its findings to determine the appropriate next steps.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu stressed that no individual would be shielded if the forensic audit establishes wrongdoing.
He further revealed that he had not personally seen the report and would not comment on its specific findings.
Speaking on Adom TV’s Badwam, Kwakye Ofosu stated, “Deloitte and Touche audited the financial reports of the National Cathedral, which revealed financial irregularities, but it didn’t tell all the issues”.
“So we had to go further and do the forensic audit to know the people who were responsible for those irregularities and whether it was lawful or not,” he said.
“The Attorney General received the forensic audit report last Friday and is going through it to determine the next line of action,” he stated.
“I haven’t seen the report myself, and even if I have, I won’t speak to the issues because it is not time,” he said.
“But the initial report revealed that something went wrong, so the forensic will prove those responsible,” he said.
“So if anyone is indicted, I won’t be the one to say who should face the law or not. Based on the report, the Attorney General will take the necessary steps,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Dr Dominic Ayine, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, has said the John Mahama government should complete Agenda 111 rather than spend money on the National Cathedral.
According to the Attorney General, the Akufo-Addo government could have used funds committed to the National Cathedral to complete some Agenda 111 hospital projects.
Speaking during the district launch of the Free Primary Health Care programme in the Bolga East Constituency in the Upper East Region on Thursday, August 13, 2026, Dr Ayinr stated, “Mr President, it is better to complete Agenda 111 than to spend money on a National Cathedral”.
He further disclosed that he has a report prepared by audit and consulting firm PwC on the National Cathedral, adding that the findings had reinforced his concerns about the resources committed to the project.
Dr Ayine questioned the manner in which the National Cathedral project was undertaken, arguing that the construction of a religious facility should have taken a different approach.
“The PwC report on the National Cathedral was presented to me last Friday. The monies spent on the National Cathedral from that report could have been used to complete some Agenda 111 Hospitals.
“You don’t build a house of God in the manner in which they went about it,” he said.
