K B Asante, Retired diplomat

Too many people flooding Flagstaff House - K.B Asante
People must stop trooping to the Flagstaff House
on daily basis and leave President Nana Akufo-Addo
alone to work, retired diplomat K B Asante has
said.

Speaking about the debate on whether the name of
the seat of government should remain Flagstaff
House or be reversed to Jubilee House as named by
the Kufuor administration, which put up the
sprawling edifice, Mr Asante, who served in the
Nkrumah administration told Asempa FM’s Ekosii
Sen political talk porgramme on Friday that rather
than wallowing in such minor issues, Ghanaians
must use their brains for serious things such as
fashioning out how to ensure that few people gain
access to the Flagstaff House.

In his view, some restrictions must be put in
place to restrict entry into the Flagstaff House
as far as “…who should go there and how the
president can be assisted to do his work” is
concerned.

“… There are too many people going to
Flagstaff House. We mount security zones and say
don’t go there and so on but it means nothing.

“In Nkrumah’s time, in his office, there were
only three of us and people did not come there
just like that, by heart, and, so, he had time to
work, he was there by 7:30am and he worked until
about 1:30pm or 2pm then he went home.

“Right now the President of Ghana has even more
work, there are more problems so he should have
the freedom to work in peace in the Flagstaff
house without being disturbed by people from dawn
to dusk,” Mr Asante said.
