The plan was made public by the general secretary of the CPP party, Nana Yaa Jantua, at the occasion of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the death of Kwame Nkrumah, at the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum on April 27.



Nana Yaa while addressing the press revealed that the country’s first president was not given a befitting burial and that they are ready to give him one, coming November.

The party as well revealed that the timetable of activities that will culminate in the actual funeral, will soon be made available.
