The MP, speaking at a July 19, 2022 press conference in Parliament said he had shed tears all day after visiting Asmodwee Park, where Mills was buried. Vanderpuye, flanked by other Minority MPs were part of the presser originally addressed by Samuel Atta Mills, brother of the late President, who is also an MP. He lamented serially the upgrades around the tomb and charged President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to instruct the state agency supporting the upgrades to cease and desist from acts that hurt the Atta Mills family. When Vanderpuye took his turn, he submitted: “This is how the grave looks like as at today when we visited the place. “I have asked Sammy and Cadman (brothers of Atta Mills), we have asked the family and know member of the family was informed of such desecration and disrespect of the grave of the man who made all of us,” he lamented.
