Use the $400m allocated for the National Cathedral to repair all the bad roads in Ghana – PJKev
African-American businessman and jet broker Kelvin Mensah, popularly known as PJKev has added his voice to the many people against the building of the National Cathedral.
The ‘PJKev Approved’ founder in an interview with Andy Dosty on ‘DAYBREAK HITZ’ said that rather than contributing to the National Cathedral’s construction, he would use his money in continuing his foundation’s work of providing safe drinking water to communities in need.
In further explaining his stance on why Ghana does not need a National Cathedral. PJKev stated that the country lacks excellent roads which indirectly hinders the growth of tourism in the country.

He said: “400 million that’s a lot of money! That can fix some roads and do more than just a cathedral. I’m trying to figure out why these roads are so bad, I have to sit down with some people.
I can’t understand it because the infrastructure of Ghana starts with roads so if you build more roads, you have way more people coming into the country.
This attracts tourists and tourism attracts money. So, why not fix all the roads?”.
