Gov’t has treated Mills shabbily – Cadman Mills

Dr. Cadaman Atta Mills, brother to late President John Evans Atta Mills, has stated that subsequent governments after the Mills-led government have treated his brother “shabbily” and unfairly.

According to Dr. Atta Mills, almost five years after his brother’s demise, government is yet to disclose to the family what the late president is entitled to as an Article 71 office holder.

“As far as the government is concerned and I make no difference from the NDC or NPP, they have treated president Mills shabbily,” Dr. Atta Mills told starr fm Wednesday.

Dr. Atta Mills added “Up till this day nobody has called me to say your brother died in office and according to this report your brother is entitled to this or that.”

The former Economic Advisor to the late President, however, added that a couple of people have been quite generous to the family after his brother’s demise due to their relationship with him.

The late President Mills died in office in June 2012, few months to the completion of his first term in office.

Shedding light on the affableness of the late president, Dr. Mills said he could have been a “better brother” and that “entrusting [late Mills’] physical and emotional well-being to others” and his younger brother was an unpardonable mistake he committed.

He said anytime he returned from his trips he would come back and meet the former president “lonely.”

“I would come back and I would realize that he was a very lonely man…extremely lonely man…Oh! My God I would go to his quarters in the castle which were not really basically fit for human being to live in. I mean my God and he will be sitting in this chair very quietly,” he told Starr Chat host Bola Ray.

He said there were times he would have to call people that he knew were the late president’s friends and “tell them that please come and visit him.”
