A former Presidential staffer under the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama administration, Stan Dogbe has taken a swipe at Okyehene Amoatia Ofori Panin II who disclosed how former Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur was taken to the 37 military hospital before his death.
Lashing out at the Paramount chief of Akyem Abuakwa, Stan Dogbe described the revered chief’s narration as an attempt to score cheap popularity.
In a video posted on Facebook, the Okyehene is heard saying the former Vice President who died on Friday, 29 June 2018, was transported to the hospital at the back of a pick-up, when efforts to revive him failed.
According to the Okyehene, there was no ambulance to convey the former vice president to the 37 Military Hospital -- where he was pronounced dead.
"As it's been for 14 years, any time I go there, I meet my friend and we'll talk, shake hands … and then go to our different machines… I heard 'bang'! Three women in the gym were screaming, I left my machine and went and there laid my friend trying to find some air to breathe.
We gathered around him and pumped his heart as hard as we could, yelled out his name; his wife was calling out: 'Jesus, save him!' I just said: 'call the ambulance, let's take him to the hospital.’ There were about seven, eight of us, and something dawned on me. When we took him out, there was no ambulance, there was no car, so we threw the former vice-president in the back of a pick-up and drove off to 37” he narrated
But Stan Dogbe who labelled the narration as a ‘coloured popularity seeking story’ has questioned why the Chief did not send the late former Vice President to the hospital in his car.
In a Facebook post the former Presidential Staffer advised that “someone should please tell the chief that he was not the only one present when the tragedy struck our late boss and VP of this country to go around talking. “
Stan Dogbe argued that, the Okyehene “had a luxury vehicle there, and many others had their cars there, if he had a good heart and a spirit of helping others, maybe; just maybe, he would have sent him to the hospital in his car.”
He further urged the Paramount chief to “cease the recklessness of seeking cheap popularity by going to public events and seeking to share coloured stories. Granted that he was sent to the hospital in someone's vehicle, a pick-up, is the back seat of the vehicle, the bucket of the pick-up as his statement sort to portray. Which gym in this country has a standby ambulance anyway?
Your 'son', Nana Addo is watching on as the National Ambulance Service collapses... deal with it and leave the family of our late boss to mourn their son, husband, grandpa, father, uncle and relation.”

Listen to this has-been punk bringing himself. Are you Nana Okyenhene's equal? You are nothing but agreedy bast*rd who has become rich by default and sleight of hand. Your time will soon come; dont worry
I hope the chief will answer him about such comment. So you called your self the President Staffer, why are you bringing a Politic to this matter? Please give us a break when you were in the government tell the whole Ghana what did you do to help our hospitals? Is it not only your family alone? Or have you forgetting that Ghanaians are watching you guys. If you have anything about the chief pls don't use this plate form to insult him. I wish the chief will respond to you at the appropriate time.
Why is this trying to involved the chief about what he said. He has not insult anybody but he is saying what he saw, on the other hands he is drawing the government attention especially the ministries or the hospital authorities to come to their self and do something to help hospital. No wonder our nation Ghana has been suffered till now because of hatred and we don't want to accept our fault. So with this kind of attitude that you guys are still forcing to come to power again? You need to be ashamed of your self with that comment. You are shame to the you NDC government for making such comment.
INFANTILE BABY WITH SHAAARRRPPP JAW TEETHH!
oh! what is wrong with this Stan Dogbe, is he out of his mind, you were not there when this thing happened. And he is saying this out of pain because Pee K is his friend so why are you condemning him? These are the people always find fault about some people. Look eight in the government what did you do to support the nation Ghana, only ***barred word*** and sharing the money and you could not think about the nation. You to ashamed by condemning this chief who saw what happened before the vice President died. Oh mother Ghana so when will people attack anybody who want to speak the truth.
An ediOrt indeed
