GABBY DENIED ALLEGATION LEVELED AGAINST HIM BY MAJORITY LEADER

The Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has slammed Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a staunch member of the New Patriotic Party, over claims that the Suame MP wants the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta sacked to take over his job.

Recent reports in the media have indicated that the Majority Leader was scheming to get the Finance Minister to resign or be sacked by President Nana Akufo-Addo because he was interested in heading the Finance Ministry.

But on the official facebook page of Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko ,he has denied the said allegations leveled against him by the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu and Member of Parliament for Suame Constitueny.

“I have listened to excerpts of the interview of Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, on Sompa Radio, claiming I had gone on Asaase Radio to allege that he was the ringleader behind the NPP MPs calling for the resignation of the Finance Minister.

He is also quoted in reports of that interview online as saying that I sponsored a failed candidate against him in the NPP parliamentary primaries leading to the 2016 general elections.

I have since sent him a message on this denying same. But, I consider it necessary to also put my side out publicly.

1. I have said no such thing on Asaase Radio or any other radio station or media house, whether on air or online, either directly or indirectly. Indeed, my position, so far, on this issue in Parliament within the Majority Caucus, has been to deliberately stay away from commenting on it publicly.

2. I have never sponsored any candidate against the Majority Leader for the Suame seat. I would never do such a thing to a person I considered a strong loyalist even within the NPP”.
