Sammy Gyamfi, the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) communications officer, has denied rumors that he used party funds to pay for a trip to Miami with his spouse.
The rumours are “ridiculous and purely nonsensical,” according to Mr. Gyamfi.
He vowed to take legal action against the people who started the video from the aforementioned trip that went viral on social media during an interview with Adom TV’s Badwam.
Mr. Gyamfi denied having taken such a trip and provided an itinerary for the previous week, which is when he is believed to have taken the trip.
He mentioned going to the funeral of the late Mawuena Adzo Trebah, the previous CEO of GIPC, and holding social events like the NDC 360 show.
The vocal politician did, however, admit that he had traveled to Miami before, adding that the footage might have been altered from prior visits.
He stated:
“But you know what, there are certain things that you allow to pass because of the nature of our jobs and the fact that we cannot find time for certain things. 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,”
“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,”
“This is just foolishness because I’ve never been to the hotel they are talking about, I know nothing about that hotel. I’ve never stayed in Miami for two weeks. I’ve been in Miami a couple of times just like other States in the US, including Miami a couple of times.
“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?”
