Ghanaians Blast Gabby Otchere Darko For Defending Government Ordering Military Invasion Of Parliament To Intimidate NDC MPs

Self-appointed de facto Prime Minister of Ghana, Mr. Gabby Othere Darko has come under serious criticism from the Ghanaian populace for trying to defend the military deployment to the parliament house on the night of the inauguration of the 8th parliament.

On the 7th of January 2020, Ghanaians witnessed a very unprecedented event live on TV where during the election of the speaker of parliament with a hung parliament, the military was ordered to enter parliament and calm situations down.

The 1992 constitution clearly states that the military has no business in the house of the legislator under any circumstance in Ghana.

So it came as a huge surprise to many Ghanaians including supporters of the NPP when outspoken Gabby Darko took to social media today to defend the unlawful act by the military.

He started by saying that Ghana’s democracy was under attack and that necessitated the deployment of the military. But the question is, under attack how? By who? The same MPs there at the time?

He likened the situation to what happened in Ameria’s Capitol Hill over the past week.
