Your latest scheme shall fail like the earlier ones - Okudzeto Ablakwa taunts Gabby over West Blue

Member of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablwaka has waded into the recent saga involving West Blue's suit against the Government of Ghana and Ghana Revenue Authority for GH¢289 million in arrears for work done back in August 2015.

The company has filed a suit at the High Court demanding full payment of the outstanding fees due for services rendered under the National Single Window and Integrated Risk Management System.

“Gabby’s latest scheme shall equally fail just like his earlier clandestine sleazy manoeuvres. Just watch out for our grand strategy to protect the battered public purse and salvage what is left of this bankrupt IMF-bailout economy,” he posted.

Ablakwa further shared previous posts made by Gabby Otchere-Darko in the past seeking to berate the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under John Mahama over the terms of the contract.
