The Presidency has confirmed the departures of Communications Adviser to the President, Ben Dotsei Malor and Secretary to the President, Dr. Raymond Atuguba from the Flagstaff House.
Rumours of the exit of the two senior officials at the Presidency surfaced earlier this week with several reports suggesting that the two were unhappy with recent events at the Flagstaff House.
However, according to a statement signed by the Chief of Staff, Prosper Bani, Mr. Dotsei Malor’s exit is as a result of the conclusion of his one-year contract as Communications Adviser at the Flagstaff House.
He will now return to the United Nations (UN) “from where he had taken a one-year leave of absence.”
The statement added that Raymond Atuguba has also returned to the University of Ghana following the end of his “two-year sabbatical leave.”
The statement also added that “the Flagstaff House Communications Bureau will be responsible for all other communications operations and functions of the Presidency.”
The Minister for Communications Omane Boamah and Cabinet Secretary Mr. Roger Angsomwine will now serve as the President’s Spokesman and Secretary respectively.
The changes, according to the statement, “are part of changes which will be taking place at the Flagstaff House over the next few days.”
