In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the NDC spokesperson, rocking a fashionable suit, was spotted departing the Parliament House premises with an entourage after Dr Forson finished reading the Budget.

As the politician and his entourage made their way to their respective vehicles in the parking lot, an elderly lady mentioned his name and lavished praise on him. However, Sammy Gyamfi ignored the elderly lady's remarks.

She later stood up from her sitting position and began to walk alongside the politician and his entourage in an attempt to grab his attention but to no avail as they continued heading out for the Parliament House's exit.
