Audio Attachment:Listen to Sammy Gyamfi |
A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has launched a scathing verbal attack on journalists; particularly political show hosts, for airing the damning leaked tape of the opposition party's National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, on their various shows.
National Communication Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, singled out ace broadcaster, Kwami Sefa Kayi and other journalists at Multimedia, for his verbal blitzkrieg, describing them as a "bunch of hypocrites".
He accused them for their "open-bias" and "selectivity", relative to the airing of leaked tapes involving political actors.
According to Sammy Gyamfi, the host of 'Kokrokoo' on Peace FM, Kwami Sefa Kayi, on several occasions has blatantly refused to give mileage to leaked tapes that has 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 bat an eyelid 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, Kwami Sefa Kayi indicates that the said tape has not even been played on the show. Thus, they are at a loss 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 our enquiries.
CID Invites NDC Chair
In a related development, the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service, has invited the Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress over the circulating leaked tape.
In the leaked recording of an alleged meeting of the party’s communicators, a voice believed to be that of Samuel Ofosu -Ampofo, reveals militia groups (Azorka boys and Hawks) were brought to the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election by the NDC.
Mr Ofosu-Ampofo, who could be heard speaking to some party members without equivocation, noted the NDC will target lives of NPP members in 2020 since state security cannot protect them.
According to him, another delicate aspect to win the 2020 election is targeting the EC Chairperson, Madam Jean Mensa.
”We must wage a relentless war on this EC Chair, me she doesn’t want to see my face . . .” he told the party gathering.
“We will go after them, but we will not go after them face-to-face. We have to use tactical operation to make life very uncomfortable for them. We will target some people and we will let the people know that their lives are in danger,” Ofosu-Ampofo allegedly said.

If This Gyamfi didn't change his character, his political career would be dented. I listened to Chairman sefa saying that he will not play the tape due to one or two reasons. Well l thank Gods NDC has chosen such such a person to lead their communication team. He will fail them big time.
This young man ought to learn. Sefa Kayi may be biased but at least he did not play this tape on his programme. I heard him say that he was not going to air it. I will encourage this young man communicator or is he a miscommunicator to play his cards well or he will destroy himself because he should know that when his credibility get to the lowest ebb, his current pay masters will abandon him.
I HAVE ON COUNTLESS OCCASIONS HEARD SEFA KAYI SAID THAT, THE LAST HIGH PROFILE TAPE HE REFUSED TO PLAY WAS THE OSAFO MARFO'S ETHNOCENTRIC TAPE. BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY HE HAD TO MAKE THIS U-TURN. HE IS PART OF THOSE WHO ORCHESTRATE NEWS ITEMS TO DIVERT ATTENTION FROM EMBARRASSING EXPOSES ON THE NPP GOVERNMENT, SO IN THIS INSTANCE HE NEEDED TO PUT HIS FULL WEIGHT BEHIND IT TO DIVERT ATTENTION FROM THE GALAMSEY BRIBERY SAGA. I ALWAYS SAY HE IS A MINISTER WITHOUT PORTFOLIO FOR THE NPP. GOOD BLESS HIM FOR HIS "TRUTH" AND HIS "INNOCENCE"
INTERESTING IN NKRUMAH’S GHANA, WHEN THE ALLEGED VOICE TAPE OF AMPOFO WAS AIRED OR LEAKED, NPP COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR ORGANISED A PRESS CONFERENCE TO ASKED NDC CHAIRMAN TO RESIGN. HOWEVER, LIVE VIDEOES OF PRESIDENTIAL STAFFERS WERE SEEN BUSILY COLLECTING MONEY TO FRAUDULENT GRANT PERMISSION TO GALAMSEYES TO GO AND DESTROY GHANA FOREST. THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TURNED INTO BRIBE AND KICK BACK COLLECTING CENTRE. ACCORDING TO THE SPOKESPERSON OF PRESIDENT/INFORMATION MINISTER THE VIDEOES HAS TO BE ANALYSED FOR THE PRESIDENT TO CLEAR THE FLAGSTAFF STAFFERS. NO WONDER THE FLAG STAFF HAS BEEN RENAMED ‘’JULOR BEEE’ JUBILEE HOUSE
WHY IS THIS C*IMINAL PARTY, NDC SO DESPERATE TO COME TO POWER AGAIN? THE WAY THEIR COMMUNICATORS ARE SO PASSIONATE WITH ISSUES AND THEIR LEADERS AT ALL LEVELS THREATENING MAYHEM, IT SEEMS GOD HAS USED GHANA AS A COLLATERAL AND TAKEN UNIMAGINABLE AMOUNT OF LOAN FROM THE STEEEELER PARTY,NDC.

PLEASE STOP THIS ***barred word*** AND THE SLELECTIVE JUSTICE. IT IS BECOMING SERIOUSLY NAUSEATING. MTCHEEEEEW.
I am not a member of the Church of Pentecost but my wife and four children are. They always persuade me to join them to worship at Pentecost. I honestly respect the church and so l never believed that they can nurture such an evil character and promote him to the elevated position of an elder.I don't want my wife to mention the Church of Pentecost to me again. I will stay at where I am. Nowhere is cool. After all my church is better than the Church of Pentecost because no elder of my church has so far plotted to kill his political opponents as Elder Ofosu Ampofo has plotted.
