The lawyer and politician noted that he found all items, including his chair, desk, and fridge, already there in his office before he started his new role.

He claimed that the allegations had been manufactured by some individuals with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who could not accept their electoral defeat at the hands of his party during the December 7 elections and were looking to tarnish his image.

Sammy Gyamfi advised Ghanaians to verify the information before accepting claims made by communicators and social media affiliates, who are associated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In a lengthy statement on Facebook, Sammy Gyamfi wrote:

"The claim by some hirelings of the New Patriotic Party, who are still nursing their wounds after suffering the most embarrassing electoral defeat in the history of Ghana, that I have changed the chair, desk, fridge and design of my office at the PMMC at a cost of GHS173,940 is totally false."
