The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has appealed to the government, urging it to maintain the graves of three ex-servicemen—Sergeant Adjetey, Corporal Attipoe, and Private Odartey Lamptey—who were pivotal in the fight against colonialism and played a significant role in Ghana’s journey towards independence.
In a press release, the CPP highlighted the bravery and sacrifice of these three gallant men, who were brutally slain while demanding their just wages after fighting for the British in the Second World War.
The party emphasised the importance of honouring their legacy and ensuring that their contributions are not forgotten.
The CPP commended successive governments for their efforts in honouring these heroes but called for additional measures to be taken.
The party urged the state to maintain the graves of Sergeant Adjetey, Corporal Attipoe, and Private Odartey Lamptey, cater for their direct descendants, and renovate their family houses to serve as tourist sites.
Furthermore, the CPP suggested that a posthumous promotion for these heroes would be fitting, as has been done for other personnel who demonstrated exceptional heroism of national repute. The party appealed to the current government to consider this request and take appropriate action.
The CPP concluded by expressing its best wishes to all Ghanaians and reaffirming its commitment to making Ghana a haven of freedom, justice, and prosperity for all. ”
