Sammy Gyamfi in a Facebook post claimed that Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu and Speaker Alban Bagbin had defied the party's official position to oppose the approval of three nominees but that they had opted otherwise for personal interest. “They brazenly defied the leadership of the party and betrayed the collective good for their selfish interest,” his post read in part. This is the second time that an NPP lawmaker has pushed for Gyamfi to be summoned before the Privileges Committe. Months back, Tafo Pankorono MP, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, also pushed unsuccessfully for a similar action to be taken. The Second Deputy Speaker, Andrew Amoako Asiamah, who was presiding over the sitting subsequently deferred action on the motion.
