The South Dayi MP has requested that Koku Anyidoho, the Atta-Mills Institute's founder, stop spreading what he perceives to be untruths concerning the condition of former President John Evans Atta Mills' tomb.
In contrast to Mr. Anyidoho's assertion that the late statesman's burial is a "wooden box," Rockson Dafeamekpor maintains that it is built of marble stone.
"Why did we choose to redesign Asomdwee Park in a way that has an impact on the nature and personality of the burial and tombstone? A tremendous falsehood has been told if somebody claims that the current burial is not constructed of marble stone, he remarked on Wednesday.
This occurs amid a simmering dispute between Mr. Anyidoho and the late President's family on the condition of Mr. Atta Mills' last burial site.
Samuel Atta Mills, the former president's brother, said that Mr. Anyidoho had tampered with their relatives' graves.
"Is the body still in that grave now that you have gone to touch it? Who or what did you bury? What sort of rite did you carry out there? Why would you visit the tomb without telling us first? Who now owns the body? And that's the query I'd want to pose to Ghanaians. Do you intend to continually cause us to experience loss?
However, Mr. Anyidoho rejected the family's assertions.
He clarified that the state is working to restore the respectability of the late President's burial site.
Sammy Atta Mills responds, "It was merely a wooden box, an unattractive wooden box that was used to conceal the object by John Mahama, and we removed it and replaced it with granite stone. Anyidoho responded.
However, Mr. Dafeamekpor claimed that the founder of the Atta-Mills Institute is merely being a busybody for not include the late statesman's relatives in his discussion of the matter on the JoyNews AM Show.
"How does anyone think that you can rise up, take a cutlass to Asomdwee Park, and clear without getting permission from the National Security or security apparatus of the office of the President?
On Wednesday, he remarked, "Koku has no basis. He is my brother, but the type of things he is saying are false.
