The immediate family of late former President John Evans Atta Mills\u00a0 has called on\u00a0 Mr. Koku Anyidoho and the Coastal Development Authority (CDA) to \u00a0as matter of respect for the culture and norms to produce the mortal \u00a0remains of the former President after supervising the \u2018desecration\u2019 of his tomb<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family questioned whether the Atta Mills Institute founder could carry out such monumental activity at the tomb of the former President without the knowledge or consent of the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood Brother to the late President, Hon Samuel Atta Mills,  who addressed the media in Parliament on Tuesday, July 19, 2022, questioned the kind of rituals that we carried out before the tomb was opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cNow that you have gone to touch the tomb, is the body still in that grave. What did you put in the grave and what kind of rituals did you perform over there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy would you go and touch the grave without informing the family and who has the body now? That is a question that I want to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samuel Atta Mills, Member of Parliament for Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem Constituency in the Central Region questioned under whose authority the CDA and the Atta Mills Institute carried out \u2018this insult to the family.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy do you always want to make us go through grief every time. You allow someone like Koku Anyidoho, this buffoon working with this so-called Atta Mills Institute to go and touch this grave without informing our family head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a former President. Why would the government allow this to happen? This is an insult to us the Akans and an insult to the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo now the government allows an NGO to run Asomdwee Park. The government allows an NGO and the CDA to handle the remains of President John Evans Atta Mills? Why don\u2019t we send another NGO to go and run the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
