Dear Sir, your legacy is being tested by a man whose loyalty lies elsewhere and whose actions directly undermine the very vision you represent. I write with deep concern over the continued stay in office of Dr. Clement Hugh Adokwei Brown as CEO of the Forestry Commission, following his brazen disregard for your authority.
Dr. Brown is a well-known NPP sympathiser who, by his own admission, secured this role through his close relationship with your elder brother, Mr. Alfred Mahama. Recently, he boasted openly among his NPP friends at Polo Heights about how that connection secured him the CEO position.
Mr. President, let’s call a spade a spade. Ghana’s protected forests are under siege. As the NPP government prepared to exit, then Minister Abu Jinapor rushed to allocate several Globally Significant Biodiversity Areas (GSBAs) to cronies. I will soon provide detailed information on those beneficiaries.
A few weeks ago, Dr. Brown approved over 107 compartments to SUPREMO WOODS, a company owned by Mr. Francis Yaw Donkoh (a known NPP figure). Meanwhile, loyal members of your own party, some of whom have been requesting just one compartment, continue to be denied by Dr. Brown and Mr. Onomah (the Cartographer). This is a clear case of injustice wrapped in political betrayal.
Even more troubling is the fact that Dr. Brown has issued mining entry permits to four different companies, at a time when you are courageously leading the fight against galamsey activities in our forest reserves. And what is his excuse? “The process started last year.”
But Mr. President, must we blindly continue what the previous government began, especially when those actions undermine your efforts and principles? The Ghanaian people didn’t vote out the NPP for their ills to be continued. They voted for change, for fairness, and for leadership that puts the nation first.
Dr. Brown has outlived his usefulness. His actions and affiliations are at odds with your vision. And whether or not he remains close to your brother, Mr. Alfred Mahama is fully capable of pursuing his goals without needing Dr. Brown in that seat. We cannot allow personal connections to override national interest.
Mr president, you campaigned on the promise of integrity and renewal. Dr. Brown’s conduct betrays that vision. I urge you to act decisively on this matter.
I’ve attached the 4 new forest entry permits Dr. Brown issued recently:

Open letter to President Mahama: Fire Dr. Brown immediately
