VP pays visit to Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum

Accra, May 11, Ghanadot/GNA – Government is to restore facilities at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial park to a faultless state in honour of Ghana’s founding father, Vice President John Mahama announced on Monday during a tour of the park.


Built by former President Jerry John Rawlings in honour of the larger-than life first President of the Republic, the historical park that houses a mausoleum and a museum, has witnessed some decline in standards in recent times.


Among the problems being faced by the park included poor water supplies, faulty electrical wirings and leaks in the roofs of the mausoleum where the revered former President and his wife are buried.


Vice President Mahama said every effort would be made to restore the park to its former glory, as he silently walked past President Nkrumah’s tomb during a working visit to the park.


He said similar restorative works would be undertaken in the ancestral home at Nkroful in the Western Region where the late President was born andin the Nkrumah Circle area in downtown Accra, where a statute is to be located.


The Vice President also announced government’s decision to form a multi-party committee to work towards the celebration of the centenary birthday of the late President in September this year.


The celebration is billed to attract world Leaders, including President Muammar Qaddafi of Libya.


A legislative Instrument that would make the day a national holiday to be christened ‘Founders Day’ would soon be laid before Parliament.


Mr. Kweku Manu Isaiah, Director of the Park conducted the Vice President round the sacred memorial grounds.
