The family of the late former United Nations General Secretary, Busumuru Kofi Annan has paid a courtesy call on ex-President John Mahama in Accra.
They visited the former NDC leader to officially inform him about the death of Annan and his funeral arrangements.
According to Mahama, “Kofi Annan has for years been a source of pride to every Ghanaian and almost all Africans. His good name and reputation robbed off positively on us as a country.”
He said he has worked with the late Kofi Annan on several projects, the last being a couple of trips in and out of Geneva when he [Annan] personally helped with the mediation of the maritime dispute between Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire.
Kofi Annan will be laid to rest September 13 at the Burma Camp military cemetery in Accra.
His burial will be followed by UN memorial events in New York and Geneva, according to the Kofi Annan Foundation.
