Gabby Otchere-Darko, counsel for embattled Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta at the censure motion hearing, has been trending on social media.
The Founder of Danquah Institute made some submissions before the committee on November 15, when he appeared to defend cousin-cum-client.
His interactions on the day attracted the attention of many who followed the proceedings keenly and subsequently took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin on November 10, constituted the Committee, which has seven days to submit its report.
It comprises Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, Bernard Ahiafor on the Minority side and Patrick Yaw Boamah, Kwame Anyimadu-Antwi and Andrew Agyapa Mercer from the Majority side.
It is co-chaired by K.T. Hammond and Bolgatanga East MP, Dominic Ayine.
A day after the opening session, over 12,000 tweets on Twitter alone have something to do with Mr Otchere-Darko’s appearance at the sitting.

Feisty clash between and Gabby Otchere-Darko after Gabby who acted as Lawyer for Ken Ofori-Atta retorted that some of Ablakwa’s questions were not within the remit of the Committee and he could say them at a press conference rather.

1. Ato Forson is the reason man has to learn.
2. Ken is the reason top education is not to be perceived as best.
3. Gabby is the reason men will surely fight their shadows.
4. KT Hammond is the reason men have coconut heads.
5. Messer is the reason men need mercy. #JoySMS

1. Instead of signaling the co-chair on camera, of whatever message u have sent, why didn’t Gabby rather call.
2. Or knowing KT Hammond, he would have answered on camera and said “Hello Gabby, how may I help you”
3. Ppl who seems to be smart, easily forget themselves.#JoySMS
