The Convention People’s Party (CPP) has called on the government to ensure the proper upkeep of the graves of three fallen ex-servicemen—Sergeant Adjetey, Corporal Attipoe, and Private Odartey Lamptey—whose sacrifices were instrumental in Ghana’s fight for independence.

In a press release, the party paid tribute to the bravery of the three soldiers, who lost their lives while demanding fair compensation after serving in the British forces during World War II. The CPP stressed the need to preserve their legacy, ensuring that future generations recognize their role in the country’s history.

The party acknowledged past efforts by successive governments to honour the memory of the slain soldiers but called for additional measures. It urged the state to not only maintain their graves but also support their direct descendants and renovate their family homes into historical sites of national interest.

Additionally, the CPP proposed a posthumous promotion for the three men, stating that such recognition had been extended to others who exhibited outstanding national heroism. The party appealed to the government to consider this as a means of appropriately honouring their contributions.

In conclusion, the CPP extended goodwill to all Ghanaians and reiterated its dedication to building a nation founded on the principles of freedom, justice, and prosperity.
