Former Head of Monitoring Unit at the Forestry Commission, Charles Owusu, has slammed the family of the late President John Evans Atta Mills for picking on former Presidential Spokesperson under the Mills regime, Samuel Koku Anyidoho regarding the Atta Mills Institute.<\/p>\n
Koku Anyidoho, who spearheaded the Atta Mills Institute with aim of honoring the memory of the late President, has recently incurred the wrath of the deceased’s family following his action to renovate the Asomdwee Park where the late Mills was buried.<\/p>\n
The family led by\u00a0brother of the late President, Dr Cadman Mills, has leveled wild allegations against Koku Anyidoho.<\/p>\n
They accuse him of\u00a0desecrating the corpse and even claim Koku Anyidoho might have stolen the mortal remains of the late President.<\/p>\n
Allegations<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI will like Ghanaians to know that the so-called Atta Mills Institute is unsanctioned, it is unappreciated and it is most unwelcomed,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Dr. Cadman Mills said at the J.E.A. Mills Commemorative lecture in Accra on Tuesday, July 26, 2022.<\/p>\n Dr Cadman Mills also accused Mr. Anyidoho of using the Atta Mills Institute to \u201csow divisions and insult elders\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0described the refurbished Asomdwee park where the late President is buried as not representing Prof J.E.A. Mills.<\/p>\n He has also indicated that the family is initiating a legal suit against Koku Anyidoho and the Atta Mills Institute.<\/p>\n “In my capacity as the Abusuapanyin of the Nkuban Kyereba Twidan Abusua, the family has decided that we will contact our solicitors to make sure that they explore all avenues to stop the Atta Mills Institute from [operating].”<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI saw his grave. There his name appeared a little bit except that it was spelt \u2018John Evans Atta-Mills\u2019. For somebody who claimed to know him very well, even though the person who has the name himself has never put a hyphen in that name. They used this so-called refurbishment to promote themselves, to promote their Institute and to promote their pay paymasters…That\u2019s not what Fiifi [Atta Mills] stood for,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0a publication by 3news.com quoted.<\/p>\n Koku Anyidoho Institute<\/strong><\/p>\n Following the legal threats, Koku Anyidoho is said to have\u00a0renamed the Atta Mills Institute to Koku Anyidoho Institute (KAI).<\/p>\n He tweeted that the Koku Anyidoho Institute will “keep the legacy of President Atta-Mills alive. To God Almighty be the glory\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n Other tweets by him read; “There will be a, Koku Anyidoho Institute (KAI), to work for President Atta-Mills.”<\/em><\/p>\n “Koku Anyidoho Institute (KAI), lives to glorify God & to respect the memory of President Atta-Mills.”<\/em><\/p>\n
