Should this be a CPP or national undertaking? I thought the Tourism ministry is better placed to offer the appropriate leadership. It should be a national agenda.

Are Hiroshima and Nagasaki not tourist sites?

Have you not heard of the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Hastings? All these places are tourist attractions.

Kulungungu is a site of historic importance - an attempt on President Nkrumah's life led to the murder of the six-year old girl presenting a bouquet to President Nkrumah, and 11 other people including children.

It is important to preserve the location of the assassination attempt for posterity as a stark reminder of the damage political violence does to innocent communities.

Should we make every place Nkrumah stepped in, in Ghana popular? What is the essence of bombing site? The district can work on it if necessary

Yes, every place Nkrumah stepped in should be made popular and preserved for posterity. His legacy speaks for itself.

Kulungungu is important in understanding Ghanaian political history. This was a dastardly attempt to assassinate President Nkrumah. He was injured, but a six-year old girl presenting him with a bouquet was killed together with 11 other people, including children.

The perpetrators were the Matemeho, predecessors of the NPP.

In doing so they killed innocent children, including the six-year old girl presenting the bouquet to President Nkrumah.

Did they have to be murdered for you to gain 'democracy'?

Kulungugu bombing was the work of the hawks in then CPP who hate the first president. Let me give you some simple scenario.

Now, imagine Nana Addo is going to hold durber somewhere in Ghana. Who do you think will be tasked to prepare where he will sit etc? NDC or NPP and if something happens who should be blamed?

In those days, the government has control over the radio station which was GBC and nothing else so any news the government puts out is accepted without any challenge. What about today?

Right now let Nana come out with any news and people will dig to find out whether it is true or not. Kulungugu was the work of those who were against Nkrumah and not UP. Do you know that those who were arrested concerning that bombing were put before the court but were all acquitted for lack of evidence and Nkrumah sacked most of the judges for not ruling against those who were arrested. Think.

It is said that the person who prepared the bomb was a chemistry lecturer at KNUST. He later became a professor.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI

FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING”
A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING.
The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING.
If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe.
Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth.
On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety.
The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission.
This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable.
The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.0547122212

As well there should be remembrance day for the June 4 and December 31 victims, if that is how Ghana wants to dig into the past. I think it is a good idea.
