The previous seat of government of Ghana is Osu Castle. It was renamed Golden Jubilee House by President Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo on 29th March 2018. It has previously been known as The Flagstaff House. HistoryThe Flagstaff House was reconstructed and inaugurated by the government of John Agyekum Kufour with the name Golden Jubilee House in November 2008 when construction was about 70%–80% completed. In January 2009, the incoming government of President Mills moved the office of the president back to Osu Castle and later changed the sign in front of the building back to its original name[2] claiming that the previous government had not used a Legislative Instrument to effect the change as required by law.[3] The Mills government was in turn criticized that the name Flagstaff House which was given to the building by the British Gold Coast government glorifies Ghana's Gold Coast past.[4] The seat of government was moved back to Flagstaff House in January 2013.[5] Construction costThe original budget for the reconstruction of $30m was a loan from the Indian government. However, BBC journalist David Amanor reported the construction may have cost as much as $45–50m. Building of the palace was overseen by an Indian contractor who used Ghanaian sub-contractors.[1] Notable events
Re-constructionThe re-construction of the presidential palace and building by the government of John Agyekum Kufour, who belonged to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), was criticized by the opposition party NDC during the 2008 elections.[8] The NDC government when sworn into office on 7 January 2009 had refused to utilize Flagstaff House, preferring Osu Castle as the seat of government.[9] The house was temporarily used as offices for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[10] References1. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7720653.stm |title=Ghana unveils presidential palace |date=2008-11-10 |work=BBC News Online |accessdate=2009-02-16}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.gbcghana.com/index.php?id=1.139598|title=Golden Jubilee House renamed Flagstaff House|date=2008-11-10|work=Ghana Broadcasting Corporation News Online|accessdate=2011-12-10}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.adomonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3188:jubilee-house-has-no-legal-backing-minister&catid=25:general&Itemid=233|title=Jubilee House has no legal backing|date=2010-10-05|work=Adom FM Online|accessdate=2011-12-10}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=212133 | title=Kufuor Angry Over Jubilee House Renaming | date=27 June 2011 | accessdate=29 May 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Seat of Government relocates to Flagstaff House 2013|url=http://graphic.com.gh/General-News/seat-of-government-relocates-to-flagstaff-house-2013.html|publisher=graphic.com.gh|accessdate=29 August 2013}} 6. ^Nkrumah, Fathia. myjoyonline.com. 14 August 2007. 7. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/ghana-still-on-a-high-as-obama-party-departs-1743367.html | title=Ghana still on a high as Obama party departs | publisher=The Independent | date=12 July 2009 | accessdate=29 May 2016 | author=Osabutey, Phyllis D.}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.peacefmonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19756:i-did-not-condemn-kufour-arthur-kennedy-&catid=13:political-news&Itemid=54|title=I Did Not Condemn The Ex-President|first1=John|last1=Nyaaba|accessdate=2009-02-16}} 9. ^Move to Flagstaff House. 17 August 2011. 10. ^"Golden Jubilee House renamed Flagstaff House". myjoyonline.com. 3 August 2010.
