The Minister of Information, Fritz Baffuor, has described calls for investigations into events before the death of Professor John Evans Atta Mills as an intrusion into the privacy of the late President.
Many are demanding to know details of what happened hours before the death of the President at the 37 Military Hospital on July 24, but Mr. Baffuor feels the timing of the demand is inappropriate.
He said: �We should have a sense of discipline and a certain sense of purpose. We�ve got to bury this man and after we bury him, we can look at all these. The information that has been given I think is enough.�
According to him, if people want investigation or a report, �you can ask for those things but the most important thing now is that we have to be very careful of the sensibility and the sensitiveness of the family because if you bring certain things into the public domain now, it could affect the family.�
The Information Minister also described the late President as a kind hearted man who was surrounded by aggressive people who sought to protect him because of his calm nature.
He noted that most of the harsh criticism meted against the late President was uncalled for and unfair saying, �when you have somebody who is very peaceful and very calm, and you have people who love him, and they realise that the man is calm and people are pillorying him, they even become more vehement than the attackers. It�s a human condition.�
