He looked into the current state of governance and the promising outlook for the incoming administration under President-elect John Dramani Mahama.
Dr. Dogbey expressed grave concern about the level of impunity in the outgoing administration, stating;
“There is nothing like continuing the level of corruption that we have seen in this current administration and also the hardship that the average Ghanaian had to endure.”

Dr. Dogbey expressed optimism that the incoming administration would steer the country in the right direction, noting, “The decision that will come out from this administration is the best direction we have to go as a nation.”
Moreover, the election of Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang as Ghana’s first female Vice President according to Dr. Dogbey, is a landmark achievement. He described it as a “significant breakthrough” in Ghana’s traditionally male-dominated political landscape. He eulogized;
“Professor Jane has really broken barriers all her life, but becoming the first female vice president is a new high for her and also for our country. It is history, and it will be studied for years to come.
It demonstrates that women can achieve higher political office here in Ghana, and it also encourages the next generation to pursue more leadership positions, fostering a culture of ambition. Having a first female vice president will certainly encourage more advanced discussions around gender equality and women’s rights right here in Ghana.”

Turning his attention to the transition process, Dr. Dogbey commended the president-elect for assembling a competent team of patriots.
He highlighted key figures such as Hon. Dr. Julius Debrah and Johnson Asiedu Nketiah (General Mosquito) as evidence of the seriousness with which the transition is being approached.
Dr. Dogbey emphasized the importance of the transition team’s role in setting the stage for the new government.
“I think they should obtain a detailed briefing from outgoing officials on pressing issues—ongoing projects, including the controversial ones, and potential challenges, including those that have not yet been made public.”

Addressing Failed Policies and Moving Forward
Moreover, in the limelight of the future government, he advocated for swift action to either rectify or discontinue bad policies. He emphasized;
“The team will work to better understand the current government, their existing policies, and programs, including the failed ones – so that President Mahama’s new administration can take quick and decisive action to rectify or totally discontinue some of these failed policies.”
