Dr Valerie Sawyerr of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said the decrepit manner in which the Asomdwee Park, the final resting place of Ghana’s late President, Prof John Atta Mills, has been left, speaks to the indiscipline that has engulfed the nation under the presidency of Nana Akufo-Addo.
Recent media reports said the tomb had been taken over by weeds and also become the lair for prostitutes and marijuana smokers.
Dr Sawyerr, who is served under the Mahama administration as a Senior Policy Adviser to the President and Head of Presidential Delivery Unit, wrote on social media that: “How much does it take to maintain the Asomdwee Park where President Atta Mills was buried?”
“It is a state burial ground, not a private burial ground”, she reminded, adding: “The Department of Parks & Gardens can easily add it to their maintenance portfolio.”
“If the government is no longer prepared to take care of Asomdwee Park, may I suggest it officially hands over maintenance of the park to the NDC Party”, she proposed.
“I am sure we can pay some workers to weed and tidy the place once a week. I am also sure we can find a security man to secure the place so we do not hear the rumours that wee smokers are puffing out smoke on Atta Mills' tomb”, Dr Sawyerr suggested.
“Why this breakdown of discipline, law and order under the watch of President Akufo-Addo please?”

These are the kind on ***barred word*** and uneducated comments coming form some politicians that gets me worried soo much, yet know should have known better. if someone is smoking weed on the tomb of a former president. what has Nana Ado got to do with that. Besides the is one of NDC own yet NDC could not protect the tomb and is been used for smoking weed and is the fault of Nana Ado. Shameful and petty Valerie Sawyerr, you need to know better that not everything should be used as politics.
So u don't know how to weed? do u want government to weeds this small portion, just give it to the boys to do it,u are a government too.
Do you need government to officially handover your own asomdwee park to you?Why cant you organise party members to take care of their own.As learned as you are I am surprised that you still looking up to government for solution to all problems. If you guys really care for the Prof you would have even raised funds from amongst you to keep the park beautiful to shame government.
Senseless piece of an article
I propose, the late President is exhumed and reburied at the VIP burial grounds in the Military Cemetary at Burma Camp, where Busumburu Kofi Annan was buried.
Ahhhhhhhhh, this lady! Has NDC gotten 'any' respect for Ata Mills?
why can't you employ someone to do that with all the monies you stole , in any case we still dont know the real cause of his death , tell your boss to confess.
Let us know the cause of his death. That is more important than what this woman is talking about. You stole money to build a party office. How much will it cost NDC to take care of their president?
Bring our royal to us.why wait for someone to clear the weed when you know it costs nothing to maintain. Little minds. Don't hide your ingratitude to the late President Ofosu Ampofo agenda May be working who knows? Anything to discredit the government of the day. You share similar motive but woman it will not wash. Think better and act accordingly.
You can pay some workers to weed and tidy the place once a week, so why wasting time. Please enough of the talking, the time to act is now.
