Full text of statement from the office of the president
Accra, May 25 The Office of the President has issued a statement denying that President Kufuor is the real owner of a hotel building close to his residence at the airport residential area, an official statement said in Accra on Tuesday.
"The President wishes to state that he has never sought to purchase the hotel under any guise, and has therefore not requested any individual or group to negotiate for the purchase of the said hotel on his behalf," said the statement, signed by Mr Kwadwo Mpiani, Chief of Staff and Minister for Presidential Affairs.
The statement said while the President's eldest son, Mr John Addo Kufuor, also known as "chief Kufuor," has indicated that he has an interest in the said property, media reports sought to impugn this by alleging that the President Kufuor is the real owner and not his son.
"His Excellency denies this categorically and says there is no basis for this unfounded allegation," the statement added. Full text of statement from the office of the president
