@Game, be mindful of your choice of words. Akan is a very diverse group of people. Kwame Nkrumah, was a bonafide Akan. Would you associate him with these despicable greedy bunch? I am an Akan and I detest everything that these greedy NPP wankers stood for.

@OGyam, I've been minded that's why I used the word "most Akans". I didn't say all Akans because I know some very decent Akans.

@ Game.....Most of us still find your commemt offensive. For future reference, pls refer to those involved instead of the word "Akan". And, in case you are not aware, these are some of the Akan tribes in Ghana. Asante, Fante, Nzima, Ahanta, Aowin, Wassa, Akuapem, Sefwi, Akyem, Brong, Ahafo, Assin, Akwamu, Agona, Denkyira etc and, at least over 45% of the people in the Ivory Coast are Akans as well. We are pig sick of this "Stereotypical Akan nonsense!

These NPP wise men don’t get it. Isn’t this the time to lie low and keep a low profile? All your supporters who you managed to piss off to the extent that they decided not to vote are watching.
So no one suggested that you should build this thing in your village, call it Kumi Memorial Kindergarten or Kumi Day Center for the Elderly and donate it to the village? A gesture like that could have helped to cover a tiny fraction of the multitude of sins committed by Kumi and his cronies!
Nobody is rejoicing; but he is as dead as we are all eventually going to die.

@ entetekwaasem. The Bible talks about whitened sepulchres. The Lord looks down on earth and sees all these exalted gleaming edifices constructed to house purifying bodies and the maggots feasting on them.
The almighty also sees the misery of the living. Misery caused by the brazen theft of state assets and money looted by these politicians and their henchmen and henchwomen.
The just Lord will pass judgement. And they will all get everything they deserve!

Why do we make fun of ourselves? Will those monuments mean anything to the dead? What a pity. Instead of investing such funds into scholarships, children's homes, or other charitable organisations, here we find ourselves doing the unthinkable. And it looks like it's for now only NPP that is doing that for their departed colleagues. It's absurd. Very absurd.

This is something oooo, who are they going to impress? The deceased or those passing by the grave or tomb? It would have benefitted them more if the monies wasted on such things were used to support the needy at regular intervals, with that once in a while they will be remembered. When was the last time anyone heard the name of Sir John and the others on TV or radio? This is vanity upon vanity.

NPP/Ashanti raw stupidity. And this is all Ghanaian taxpayers' money. Look at the resting places of all past US presidents and their wives. Jimmy Cliffs (worth $18 million) was cremated and the ashes sprayed in the sea. Steve Jobs (founder of Apple, woth $10.7 billion) was buried in a small, simple cemetary in Palo Alto California. Just google Alta Mesa Memorial Park Cemetary and you'll see the cemetary and the grave. We've really lost our senses.

Thumb up for all who have commented on this platform and article. All the comments are spot on.
No reason to use such huge monies to build such costly houses for the dead who are just in their graves. This is unacceptable and unthinkable.
Meanwhile there are many many thousands struggling just to make one square meal a day.
On the contrary this is even gargantuan stolen monies. This kind of thing is practiced mainly by the NPP party members.
Thank God Ghanaians are now awake and used their thumbs to vote them out during the 2024 general elections. Despite they don’t seem to be learning from their mistakes. Abaaaa! NPP politicians why do you worship and celebrate the dead to the detriment of the living?

Only Akan politicians will display this level of vanity and stupidity. However, it is all because they have access to steal the money for such useless venture. Some of these so called politicians while alive and in office loot and steal, and when they die, even their dead bodies continue to enjoy this level of treatment. So what will these structures do to the dead, make them alive again or what? It's about time we got rid of such stupid ostentation. It does not make any sense. Shame on the people who make such decision to build all these useless graves.
