In denying claims that he owns a house at Airport Hills, Sammy Gyamfi was optimistic that he would build a plush house.

Sammy Gyamfi said he was the kind of politician who would gladly give to others if God blessed him, adding that he began to enjoy the benefit of his hard work in his twenties.

"When I was done with National Service, I did not seek a job. Since I left KMA, have you heard anyone allege that I duped someone?"
"When I was 24 and in Kumasi, I had a lounge and a restaurant. I was employing over 50 people at the age of 24. I had people who came there to eat and drink."
