Accusations brought against Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a North Tongu member of parliament, have not received an official response.
Ablakwa charged him with trying to use his law institute to persuade the government to pay a client an illegitimate sum of 187 million Ghana Cedis. Ablakwa also provided documentation to back up his accusations, which he uploaded on social media.
He called the occurrence the “Kitchen Scandal” in his article and accused Gabby Otchere-Darko, commonly known as the “Prime Minister” of Ghana, of being involved in a complex web of financial dealings. Ablakwa brought up further multimillion-dollar transactions including PDS, Agyapa, and Ameri, where Gabby’s name had come up in relation to purported manipulations.
After hours of silence, Gabby Otchere-Darko responded on Facebook and alluded to the predicament by talking about IQ and ego differences.
He cautioned against making impetuous leaps when one’s intelligence and ego are much out of sync because the fall could be severe and even self-destructive.
It is significant to note that, as of the date specified, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko’s formal response to the particular claims relating the 187 million Ghana cedis transaction is still pending.
Paul Adom-Otchere Critiqued
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, harshly criticized Paul Adom-Otchere, host of Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana program.
Ghanaians, according to Ablakwa, are tired of hearing false and improbable stories from Adom-Otchere.
The argument started when Adom-Otchere criticized Ablakwa for disclosing an 187 million Ghana cedi transaction, dubbed the “kitchen scandal,” on the show he hosted on August 1. The story stated that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s cousin, Gabby Otchere-Darko, allegedly pursued payment of this sum, despite the government changing the contract related to it.
Ablakwa denied Adom-Otchere’s claims that the Attorney-General’s legal opinion release would be detrimental to the state and advantageous to West Blue in any prospective future legal actions. He questioned why, despite the Attorney-General’s opinion being biased and lacking participation from the Ministry of Finance and the Ghana Revenue Authority, Adom-Otchere seemed indifferent about it and seemed primarily troubled by its public revelation.
Additionally, Ablakwa mocked the notion that Ghanaians should think Gabby was ignorant of the Attorney-General’s legal opinion prior to Ablakwa’s publication and expressed frustration with Adom-Otchere’s erroneous reports.
“In any case, if the people Paul speaks for are proud of their behind the scenes actions, why are they disturbed and embarrassed by the public disclosure of their actions and opinions? Ghanaians have really had enough of Paul’s cock-and-bull stories — so Paul actually expects Ghanaians to believe that Gabby didn’t know about the AG’s legal opinion but for my publication?
“Had Paul read the documents I put out, he would have observed how Gabby’s law firm could state categorically in their 3rd May, 2023 letter to the Board Chair of GRA that they know that the Attorney-General hasn’t received the written arguments of GRA and the MoF after their 1st November, 2022 meeting. If Gabby can know on authority what letters the Attorney-General hasn’t received on this matter, how can any reasonable person believe that Gabby didn’t know about the AG’s opinion long before my publications?”
