On Saturday 26th March 2022, the minister of education, Hon Yaw Adutwum, was joined by his family and friends in Jachie, Bosomtwe, to put to rest his beloved mother who died a few months ago.
The funeral service was a star-studded affair, complete with demonstrations of traditional culture and other significant events.
The mausoleum used to bury the education minister’s mother, madam Yaa Nkrumah, has garnered widespread interest on social media, with several people describing it as a self-contained city.
The tomb has been beautifully tiled and constructed in the style of a mansion. Beautiful pillars have been constructed and are exquisitely decorated. The tomb may conceivably be exploited as a tourist attraction.
The President of Ghana, the Vice President, and other prominent members of the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress were present at the burial ceremony.
“I wish to express my gratitude to the President, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and Vice President, H.E. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, senior government officials, my colleague Members of Parliament, the leadership of the NPP and other political parties, Nananom, Religious leaders, the Education fraternity, the Media, and all other well-wishers,” he said in his address.
