President John Mahama will relocate his office to the Flag Staff House on Thursday. A statement signed by Information Minister Mahama Ayariga said: "Government wishes to announce that the seat of Government will officially move from the Castle -Osu to the Flag Staff House on Thursday, 7th February, 2013." "This means that President John Dramani Mahama will from Thursday, 7th February, 2013 conduct formal government business from the Flag Staff House. "There will be a short ceremony to commemorate the movement at 10 am at the Flag Staff House," the statement added. The House was rebuilt in 2008 to be used as office and official residence of the president and his vice. But the late President John Mills refused to relocate to the Flag Staff and continued conducting his official duties in the Castle. Already, the House is being decorated to make it befitting of the Office of the president.
