The Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of Operations, Stanislav Xoese Dogbe, has reiterated President 's unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law, strengthening democratic principles, and fostering a style of governance that welcomes constructive criticism.

While receiving the petition from political parties demonstrating against the suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo at the Jubilee House on Monday, May 5, 2025, Deputy Chief of Staff Stan Dogbe emphasised that President Mahama does not subscribe to the culture of retaliatory politics often witnessed under previous administrations.

Making his point clear, Stan Dogbe criticised the previous administration for engaging in acts of retaliatory politics, highlighting such practices as detrimental to democratic governance. "Let me say that we are happy that your process started this morning and has ended very peacefully.

That in itself is a very strong message about the democracy that President Mahama wants to instill in our dear country. "If it were the case like this over the past eight years, I'm sure that the retaliatory politics that you talk about wouldn't have been the case.
