“Gabby twisted what I said….The host posted a question to me that said,” McDan, you are a big entrepreneur, you are a big businessman, has the government policies helped your businesses and I said no. I spoke and referred that in my 30 years of being an entrepreneur, government policies have never helped the private sector. That was my answer.” McDan clarified.
“I don’t know if you really listened, what I did, I talked about some Ministers who are not listening to the private sector as businessmen.

According to him, people can label him as a betrayal and ungrateful but his comment was to help the government to implement good policies that can help the masses.
“I can’t be selfish if I am talking about the right thing. You can say that I am ungrateful to the party that has helped my businesses but you need to criticise what is wrong. We have to help politicians, we have to help the government to put out the right policies. And that day when I said that Bawumia was there.” He added.
