Sammy Gyamfi, the Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has vehemently denied allegations circulating in a viral video suggesting he took a lavish trip to Miami with party funds.
In response, Gyamfi has threatened legal action against those responsible for spreading what he termed as false and baseless accusations.
In an interview, Gyamfi dismissed the allegations as “ridiculous and purely nonsensical,” providing a detailed account of his activities during the periods in question.
He clarified that the video purportedly showing his trip to Miami was from a past visit, not a recent one as claimed.
“These are just lies from demented minds. At the time they wrote the story, they wrote the story I believe Friday or Saturday. Saturday I was at Mawuena Trebarh’s funeral, Sunday I was at Suame for our regional organiser’s mother’s funeral, even on Wednesday I was in Accra here for hosting NDC 360 and was in the High Court on Thursday with Dr Ato Forson. So, when was I in Miami and that NDC had given me 42,000 dollars? So, it’s just ridiculous, just purely nonsensical.”
Addressing the origins of the video, Gyamfi explained, “The video circulating has been cut from one of my past trips to Miami with my wife, I believe the immediate aftermath of my marriage.”
“How that can be an issue to a group of people shows how frustrated they are and how fixated they are with Sammy Gyamfi, because I’m not paid by the government so how does my trip with my wife for a break an issue to you?”
Gyamfi attributed the spread of these allegations to “unemployed NPP foot soldiers” paid to discredit him, but emphasized that legal actions would be pursued against those responsible for the misinformation.
“These are some unemployed NPP foot soldiers who have been paid to do that so you cannot even hold them responsible however, there are some people who will be taking on relative to this matter and the issues will be settled in court.”
