ALL U CURRENT EADERS BEST BELIEVE UR TOMBS WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE IF YOU DONT TAKE STEPS TO DO THINGS PROPERLY. THE LEGACY YOU LEAVE IF WHAT WILL BE USED TO JUDGE YOU WHEN YOUR TIME COME UP...IF PAA GRANT'S TOMB CAN BE LEFT LIKE THIS. THEN WHO SAYS DR NKRUMAH, JB DANQUAH, BUSIA ETC WONT ALSO TURN UP LIKE THIS?

THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO BEGAN THE NATION'S FUTURE AND DESERVE A LOT OF RESPECT. WE HAVE NO SHAME AT ALL.THIS TOMB MUST BE EQUALLY HANDLED JUST LIKE NKRUMAH'S GRAVE IF IT CAN NOT BE TRANSFERRED ANYWHERE ELSE.IS THAT HOW LAWLESS WE WILL PORTRAY OURSELVES TO POSTERITY? THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO KWAME NKRUMAH'S CAR. IN 2008 WHEN GOVT DECIDED TO GATHER OTHER RELICS OF NKRUMAH, HIS CAR WAS SEEN IN THE BUSH SOMEWHERE IN THE KWAHU AREA. HIS DRIVER AT THE TIME, WHO WAS STILL ALIVE SAID HE HAD TO DRIVE THAT CAR FROM PEDUASE INTO HIDING AFTER THE 1966 COUP DETAT. WHAT ARE SHOWING TO POSTERITY?

Who wrote this article? Does Ghanaweb has qualified editors at all? Axim is in the Western region, not central. Meanwhile, Paa Grant's building built in 1919 was totally in disarray. The government, unless evil UP/NPP UGCC/CPP destroyers don't care to see Paa Grant elevated. The structure could be renovated and used for the benefit of the community.

The writer stated clearly that Axim is in the Western Region. Nowhere does it say in the article that Axim is in the Central Region.

Min. of Tourism and the Department of History of Min of Education should take steps to arrest this ugly situation. The owners of the Beer Bar should be notified to relocate or the bar should be dismantled! This isn't the way to honour our National Heroes. This also shows that most of our ministers and civil servants are simply out of touch with the world; they don't even understand their responsibilities as appointees or state of the service. This is simply unbelievable! This shouldn't even attract public debate; authorities concerned should act swiftly.

Socrates, see to the demolishing of this drinking bar and renovate the grave. Period !. Paa Grant paid for Kwame Nkrumah's ship fare from America to the Gold Coast. Please let us honour him accordingly.

You ain't see anything despicable than this before. Should you have seen the deplorable condition of the mansion once occupied by late President Mobutu SeseSeku of Zaire, you will ask yourself what is wrong with the black race? The culture of maintenance is completely not part of an African period.

There are so many buildings in Ghana once occupied by the British which Ghanaian officials are occupying that are crying for maintenance. But Ghanaian mentality - if he is ask to maintain it, he will build a complete house from the maintenance cost.

I wish the Minister of Tourism would take this as a matter of urgency to do what is right to bring the tomb of this industrious hero as it was or better than before. Shame on all of us. E&OE.
