President J.A. Kufuor says he is consulting with his family on the use of the Castle as his residence.
He said his decision to move out from his own house where he commutes daily to the State House and the Castle for official duties, is based on the inconvenience caused by his motorcade.
The President said he would stay in the Castle on weekdays and spend weekends in his home.
The President made these observations in an interview with Kwaku-Sakyi Addo, a journalist, on the GTV programme – “Kwaku one-on-one” on Sunday evening.
The President, who appeared very relaxed, stressed the need for the nation to have a decent presidential mansion as obtains in other countries.
President Kufuor lamented over the deterioration of the Flagstaff House residence of the first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and wondered why it has been neglected to that extent.
