New home for Rawlings - Vume is latest find

The Ghanaian Chronicle says credible official sources have disclosed that the state is putting finishing touches to a house at Fafraha at the outskirts of Accra on the Dodowa road that will be the final resting home of ex-President J.J. Rawlings.

There had been lingering speculations about what will be the permanent resting home of the former President who has since leaving office been putting up at the Ridge residence of his wife, which also doubled as offices to the 31st December Women’s Movement.

The official sources confirm that the house is weeks away from completion.

But Chronicle says it can also reveal that the East Legon house, about which it reported early this year, is also nearing completion and speculation is that Rawlings will snub the Fafraha house and eventually put up at East Legon, which is safely located in the capital.
