Stan Dogbe Stinks...You Can't Do Your Job In Anger - Kweku Baako

Kweku Baako, Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, has expressed disappointment in Presidential Staffer Stan Dogbe over his recent behaviour towards journalists in the country. Kweku Baako was disgusted at Stan Dogbe's recent comment regarding an accident involving some journalists from the Western Region. The journalists, numbering 10, were returning to Takoradi after covering President John Dramani Mahama's commissioning of a community Senior High School at Bameanko when the mini bus they were travelling in collided with one of the cars in the President's convoy. Hours after the incident, the Presidential Staffer took to social media. Describing the reports as "irresponsible", Stan Dogbe wrote on his Facebook wall that "there has been no accident involving the Flagstaff House Press Corps or any vehicle from the Flagstaff House in the Western Region. he team with the President on his ‪#‎Changinglives tour of the Western Region has long arrived in the Central Region. "At least, as leader of the Communications Team on this trip, none of the media houses engaged in this irresponsible reports have contacted me or the Minister for Communications, Edward Omane Boamah to verify the story.” But in a quick riposte to Stan Dogbe, Kweku Baako believed the Presidential Staffer has already been "stinking" and instead of regaining his reputation, he has rather switched to a "combative mood." Kweku Baako therefore had an advice for him; “in putting out statement, an expression of some sympathy from the Presidency for those journalists who went on an assignment covering the Presidency or the Presidential tour would have been order. Rather than the immediate outright attack on the perceived irresponsibility of those who did the first report because…considering what has happened in recent times, you seek to court sympathy. You seek to court cooperation. You seek to sow the seed for goodwill.” According to Mr. Baako, Stan Dogbe should swallow his pride and express sympathy with the accident victims in Western Region. “You already stink and now, you’re stinking extremely. So, what you do; you have to re-engineer yourself. In re-engineering yourself, you’re seeking to do some good for Presidency from where you work but it appears that he is in combative mood. It appears that he is seeking to pay back…It is not the way to handle that kind of portfolio. You can’t do that job effectively if you’re going to be so angry," he said.
