"One thing that we would also like to draw our president's attention to is the library that has been built in honour of our dear brother, which was inaugurated about 10 years ago in Cape Coast, which seems to have nothing going on there, but we hope as we are back something will happen," she lamented at the event"
Atta Mills' son and his family
The young couple also attended the event with their two kids.
