The late president John Mills will no longer be buried at the Flag Staff House as initially planned.

A statement issued on Thursday and signed by the Chairman of the Funeral Planning Committee Kofi Totobi Quakyi says the late Ghanaian leader will be buried at a 'specially designated place in between Castle Drive and Marine Drive Accra.'

The place, the statement said, will subsequently be developed into a Presidential Mausoleum.

The date of burial is Friday, August 10, 2012.

The decision was taken after thorough consultation with the family and on the recommendation of the Funeral Planning Committee.
