Stan Dogbe breaks silence on 'hijacking' Mahama’s appointments

The lawyer for Stanislav Xoese Dogbe, the Deputy Chief of Staff (Operations) at the Presidency, has addressed allegations broadcast on Neat FM regarding the appointment of government officials during President Mahama’s administration.

The allegations, made by Adakabre Frimpong, a presenter and former running mate to the late flagbearer of Ghana Freedom Party, Akua Donkor, suggested that Stan Dogbe, along with Callistus Mahama, secretary of the 2024 transition team, was involved in altering official appointments without President John Dramani Mahama’s knowledge.

According to the broadcast, NDC members and supporters have expressed anger over alleged appointment changes made arbitrarily by Callistus Mahama and Stan Dogbe.

The presenter is reported to have claimed that party members were frustrated to the point of seeking out Callistus Mahama to confront him physically over these actions. Furthermore, it was suggested that key figures within the party, including the party chairman and the Chief of Staff, had been sidelined in decision-making processes.

In response, the legal representative from R. O. Solomon Consulting, acting on behalf of Stan Dogbe, has categorically denied these accusations.

The firm’s statement asserts that Dogbe has not altered any official appointment letters and has not engaged in any activities that could damage President Mahama’s administration.

The statement further describes the allegations as false and defamatory, aimed at tarnishing the reputation of Mr. Dogbe.

“Our client is of the view that nothing excuses the fabrication and publication of such vile and blatant untruths,” the legal response stated in a letter addressed to Adakabre Frimpong.

“Worse still, you did not even have the decency or take the time-honoured journalistic step of reaching out to him for his comment.”

As a results, Stanislav Xoese Dogbe has called for retraction and apology form Adakabre Frimpong.
