He said Otchere-Darko, a cousin to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is accusing him of being behind the demand for the sacking of Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to the Member of Parliament for Suame, Otchere-Darko has wrongly accused him of being the mastermind behind some NPP MPs demanding the sacking of Ofori-Atta.
"From nowhere, we hear Gabby Otchere-Darko on his Asaase Radio accusing me of instigating what was happening, for what? What do I stand to gain from that?" he retorted.

But Gabby in a reply to Mensah-Bonsu denied the accusations.
In a Facebook post, he said "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.
"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."

Several Ghanaians including lawmakers on the Majority side mounted pressure on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to sack Ken Ofori-Atta from office in light of the country's current economic situation which has compelled the government to seek support from the IMF.
