The mansion was said to be under construction before his sudden death. Unfortunately, he never got the opportunity to live the experience of tasting life at the beautiful residence as he had hoped.
According to sources, the house was something Ernest Kumi was really happy to be working on, and embarked on building it years ago. It was almost done when he died. It is against this backdrop that his family decided to finish it and bury him there.
Check out the exterior of the building below:
The house looks great. It's all white with fancy designs outside and tiles all over. On the day he was buried, flags were raised in front, making it feel serious but respectful.
There were air conditioners in the room where he was buried, with beautiful lighting and interior designs throughout.

The funeral saw family, politicians, leaders, and people who supported him in attendance. A lot of them thought burying him at the house was right, since he cared so much about Wenchi and wanted to help the town.
Even though Ernest Kumi never got to live in the house, burying him there was mooted as a thoughtful gesture and a memorial site for people to remember him and what he did for everyone.
