President John Atta Mills has written to the Speaker of Parliament informing the House to insert the name of Stan Dogbe into a previous list of presidential staffers on which, according to the President\u2019s letter, Mr Dogbe\u2019s name, along with three others, was omitted.
\nThe President\u2019s remedy letter made reference to his July 30 letter, which provided Parliament with a list of presidential staffers without the names of Presidential Aide Stan Dogbe, Presidential Advisor Professor Francis Dodoo, Presidential Staffer Mathias Akotia who heads the Brand Ghana office and Office Administrator Helen Annan.
\nThe letter, signed by President Mills, appealed to the Speaker of the House to accept the letter with \u2018assurances of [his] highest esteem.\u2019
\nThe omission of Mr Dogbe\u2019s name stirred commotion in Parliament a couple of weeks ago when MP for Effia Kwesimintim, Joe Baidoe-Ansah, alleged fraudulent conduct against Mr Dogbe for allegedly parading himself as a Presidential Aide and usurping the position of Information Service Director, to collect GH\u00a2169,000 purportedly meant to educate Ghanaians on the 2010 budget.
\nThe money was said to have been spent on buying hampers for journalists and paid articles.
\nMr Dogbe apparently could not account for the GH\u00a2169,000.
\nThe Effia Kwesiminstim MP accused Mr Dogbe of being a \u2018dubious character\u2019 who needed to be probed.
\nMr Dogbe rebuffed the accusations several times as false. Stan Dogbe told Citi Fm that the President\u2019s letter had vindicated him.
\n\u201cThere is no way I would hold myself up and perform roles for government and for that matter the Presidency when I have not been appointed.
\n\u201cSo I think that this letter to parliament is indeed just confirming that indeed Mr Dogbe is an appointee of the government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
