Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has 'attacked' former President John Mahama for wading into claims that the NPP government intends to increase VAT in the upcoming mid-year budget review.
In a tweet, Mahama said “The Ghanaian business sector has never experienced such difficult times in the history of the 4th Republic. Akufo-Addo’s proposed new taxes would cripple businesses further and also defeat his much-touted mantra of from taxation to production.”
This was after a report by a pro-NPP newspaper, The New Statesman, suggested that government may announce an increase in the VAT and the National Insurance Levy in the Mid-Year Budget Review.
However Gabby disagrees with the former President and has asked him to “shush” because the Akufo-Addo administration has been kind to him.
“Certainly, the reckless way the NDC ran down the economy in 8yrs (lest we forget), called for creative and intelligent measures to satisfy three things: manage the debt crisis; keep the state machinery running and; deliver on your own promises. The Akufo-Addo government found a way in 2017, and will continue to find ways that will keep faith with the people of Ghana. Be in no doubt. And, please, can somebody out there tell John Mahama to shush! It is not his fault, though. The NPP has been kind to him on the havoc he caused to the economy,” Gabby wrote on Facebook.

What is this thieef saying ? If not Ghana @50 would you be fat like this ? We know your likes .... These guys are such a hell of disappointments to Ghana. The stealing you're deeply rooted in will be exposed soon.
Did Mahama solve DUMSO? We are NOT infants in Ghana! We know what Mahama and NDC did to us in 5ys on power that caused lives and businesses. Now the ABLE and VISIONARY people have resolved the MESS Mahama let behind so NDC can talk? What did Nana Addo and NPP do? Stop the CORRUPTION and focus on power the even led to a significant REDUCTION in light bills. INCOMPETENT NDC!
let Nana Addo be told that, when he joke with NDC he will disgrace himself.there were a lot of accusations against NDC that they have infiltrated a lot of projects esp. Kumasi airport, Nkruma circle, Kasoa interchange ok if all what he said is true ghanaians want to see action. Put all those involved in that dubious deals before court.When you let them go free, then Nana you will live to regret. Be a man of your words ghanaians are waiting to see you fulfilling your pledges concerning corruption.
Domsor was solved by this same mahama so shutuppppppppp if you don't have any sensibleeee thing to say
Gabby, you are one of the persons who make nana addo makes so much enemies. It would be appropriate to stay out of this kind of banter that only bring hatred towards nana addo. You, obiri boahene and Ken agyepong are why so many people don't like npp. Sir john used to be like that, but today, he is the most disciplined politician in this country. Learn to keep your uggly mouth and face quiet.
Well said Gabby!! Don't mind that 'con man' MAHAMA.
Ghanaians businesses went through 4 long years of dumsor under the incompetent and greedy John Ford Mahama...... Mahama must shuttttt the fuccccckkk up... He is a hypocrate.....
Who the hell is this Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko? I believe he’s not in government but very powerful in Jubilee House. That should’nt be a licence for him to speak rudely about Ex President Mahama. Wasn’t it the same guy who recently was alleged to have undermined Otumfuo the Asante King? I am a profound believer in the concept of freedom of speech, but one must not forget that in Ghana respect for our elders - be they chiefs or prominent ex politicians- is unique in our customs and must be observed.
