The Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has declared his intention to take legal action against individuals responsible for spreading false allegations about his purported trip to Miami with his wife.
This follows widespread reports and a viral video suggesting Mr. Gyamfi used party funds for a lavish trip to Miami, which he vehemently denies.
Speaking on Adom TV, Mr. Gyamfi dismissed the allegations as ‘ridiculous and baseless’, providing evidence of his activities during the claimed period, such as attending funerals and organizing party events.
He clarified that the video in question likely dates back to a previous trip after his marriage, not a recent visit to Miami.
Mr. Gyamfi has stated his readiness to pursue legal recourse against those responsible for disseminating the misleading information.
“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?”
“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. Some of the people circulating the video, is really they will not even know you.
“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.”
