Following Citi FM<\/strong>\u2019s report on the deteriorating state of the tomb of the late President John Evans Atta Mills, Government has commenced some repair work on the tomb at Asomdwee Park.<\/p>\n

A visit to the park on Monday by Citi News’<\/strong> Anass Seidu revealed there were cracks on the tomb, as pieces of cement blocks had been used to keep it from falling apart.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Citi News<\/strong>, the Chief Executive Officer of the Atta Mills Institute, Koku Anyidoho, said a visit to the Asomdwee Park Tuesday morning revealed the repair works had already started on the tomb.<\/p>\n

He commended Citi News<\/strong> for\u00a0highlighting the state of the tomb.<\/p>\n

He also said government’s speed in addressing the issue had saved the country from potential embarrassment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can confirm on authority that I have been there, and I must say that we are pleased with the quick response of government. We saw workers on site. The tombstone was being worked on. It also looks like the lawn itself is being manicured.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, the positive aspect of the story that Citi FM did on Monday is that, some attention has been drawn to what was going to come out as an embarrassment to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we had waited till March 6 [Independence Day] for people to throng the place only to find that the tombstone is sitting on broken pieces of cement blocks and is looking very horrible with all the cracks. It would have been a more of a bigger disgrace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Asomdwee Park, formerly known as the Geese Park, was transformed in 2012 to serve as the final resting place for the late President, who passed on July 24, 2012.<\/p>\n
