Resting Place For President Mills

Late President J.E.A. Mills will be buried at a specially designated place between the Castle and Marine Drives in Accra.

The decision was taken by President John Mahama after consultations and recommendations by the Funeral Planning Committee on late President Mills.

The burial has been fixed for Friday, August 10, 2012.

A statement signed by Mr Kofi Totobi Quakyi, Chairman of the committee, said the area so designated would be developed into a presidential mausoleum.

Earlier in the day, the funeral committee had met the family of President Mills and agreed to bury the late President in Accra.

At the end of the marathon meeting, the two groups narrowed venues for the burial to the Flagstaff House and the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum.

The committee told the family that the final decision would be taken by the President.
