President John Evans Atta Mills has since January 13 been living and working at the Castle, according to a statement from the Castle signed by Mr Koku Anyidoho, Head of Communications.
The statement said President Mills, not oblivious of the heavy traffic in Accra and especially on the Spintex Road, where his home is located, decided not to allow his motorcade to further inconvenience motorists.
Former President John Agyekum Kufuor, for the eight years he was head of state, lived in his personal residence near the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange from where he commuted to the Castle.
