A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has launched an attack on Kwame Sefa Kayi – host of Peace FM’s Kokrokoo morning show programme – and other journalists for airing the damning leaked tape of the opposition National Democratic Congress‘s (NDC’s) National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, on their various shows.

Speaking on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ programme, National Communication Officer of the party, Sammy Gyamfi, singled out ace broadcaster, Kwami Sefa Kayi and other journalists at Multimedia, for his verbal bombardment, describing them as a “bunch of hypocrites.”

He accused them of their “open-bias” and “selectivity”, relative to the airing of leaked tapes involving political actors. 

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the host of ‘Kokrokoo‘, Kwami Sefa Kayi, on several occasions had blatantly refused to give mileage to leaked tapes that had the possibility of exposing and disgracing members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on his morning show platforms. 

But surprisingly, he added, he (Sefa Kayi) did not hesitate in playing the infamous Ofosu-Ampofo leaked tape.

The NDC Communications Officer then turned his blazing guns on Joy FM, castigating the station for its decision to not only air the leaked tape, but to transcribe its contents verbatim as well, on its online portal.

“These bunch of hypocrite journalists will never play leaked tapes on their shows so far as they have negative repercussions on the NPP. However, they are quick to play leaked tapes that involve the NDC like we are seeing today,” he said. 

Leaked Tape Policy

Interestingly, Peacefmonline.com checks with producers of the ‘Kokrokoo’ programme and host of the show indicate that the said tape has not even been played on the show. Thus, they are at a loss as to what could have informed the young politician’s verbal attack.

According to the Chairman-General (as Sefa Kayi is affectionately called), he has a timed-honoured policy of not playing leaked tapes on his show, as such, Ofosu-Ampofo’s tape is of no exception.

“I don’t play leaked tapes and will not play this one too,” was his response to the producers’ enquiries.
