Kufuor moves to castle

There are strong indications that the President, John Agyekum Kufuor will soon move quarters, from his personal property in the up-market plush Airport residential area where he has lived all this while, to the renovated slave castle at Osu.

The Daily Guide says a source close to the Presidency confirmed in Accra on Monday that President Kufour should have moved last Sunday August 26, that is a day after the historic national delegates congress of his party, to the Christianborg Castle, Osu, but there was a last minute decision to postpone the move.


The source is reported as saying that prayers, will be said by the Christians, Moslems and traditional authorities, at the Castle. The media will also be invited to cover the event.

We want to remove the myth surrounding the Castle, the seat of government, as the seat of power and as a detention camp where people used to have their hairs shaved with broken bottles with or without executive consent, the source said.
