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.

Believe you me, this think-less little boy called Sammy Gyamfi will push NDC further into opposition. In the face of this leaked tapes, it is not for Sammy to do the damage control. NDC needs someone who is matured to handle the situation but I bet Sammy, a lair as he is and a chief propagandist, further damage whatever control NDC has to undertake. Allotey rightly said it yesterday, that the party's image is seriously dented and there seem to be no redemption since this unbridled tongued Sammy Gymafi is worsening their case. A word to the wise.......
NDC is VERY desperate & Sinking!
My brother, I will advice that you get your facts right and quickly apologize to Kwame Sefa-Kayi before you earn more hatred for yourself and the party.As far as I know, he has refused to play the tape despite persistent pressure from his panelist. You are becoming a nuisance and its high-time you change.
I hear, NDC chair is a Pentecost preacher. Wow. I am also a christian this is a reminder that we all dont do what we preach. When I was a kid, I thought Christians could go into politics and change it for the better. Now, I think otherwise. Politics will change you. May God forgive us all.
@YAW YOU HAVE TAKEN THE WORDS FROM MY MIND BECAUSE YOU HAVE JUST HIT THE NAIL RIGHT WITH THE HAMMER. SOME OF THEM EVEN WANTED THE OTHER CANDIDATES TO JUST STEP DOWN FOR MAHAMAH AS A "FUNFUUOL" RESPECT SO THAT MAHAMAH COULD SPONSOR THE WHOLE CONGRESS AND FOR THAT MATTER THEY COULD HAVE ACHIEVED THEIR GOALS BUT THE OTHER CANDIDATES WERE STUBBORN. NOW THE CHICKEN IS COMING HOME TO ROOST",WE SHALL SEE...
Sammy Gyamfi thinks lying is more than enough to win power for the NDC. People kindly mark it on a wall, NDC is going to loose and loose woefully and he will see what the Ewe's they have taken the party away from them will do to them. He lies as if there is no God.
I LISTEN TO SEFA KAYI EVERYDAY , IN THE LAST TWO DAYS HE HAS REFUSED TO AIR THE TAPES THOUGH SOME OF HIS PANELIST DEMANDED HE DO SO. THE HYPOCRITES ARE THE POLITICIANS AND sammy gyamfi IS NO EXCEPTION . HE DOES NOT RESPECT HIMSELF AND THINKS INSULTS IS THE ONLY WAS TO SOLVING PROBLEMS. THEIR ACTIONS WILL LEAVE THEM IN OPPOSITION FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE NDC IS ONLY ATTACKING PERSONALITIES , THEY HAVE NO MESSAGE , POLICIES AND PROGRAMS TO HELP THE AVERAGE GHANAIAN . THEY HAVE PRESIDED OVER THE MESS WE FIND OURSELVES IN YET ALL THEY CARE ABOUT WINNING ELECTIONS TO WHAT END ? STEAL , LOOT AND SHARE AMONG THEMSELVES. THERE IS ONE REASON WHY MAHAMA IS THEIR CANDIDATE , THOSE WHO DID NOT GET ANY OF THE BOOTY MAHAMA STOLE ARE USING HIS CANDIDACY TO GET WHAT THEY WERE DEPRIVED AND GIVEN TO IBRAHIM . THANKS YOU
This young boy whom haven't work before to know how the world is, is attacking every body who says something about ndc, does he mean nobody should talk about ndc or what, a party who believes the one who insult more is the one who is more sensible , if not politics ,who is this thing to insult elderly people
can Sammy Gyamfi provide evidence of he listening to the tape being played on peacefm kokorokoo?Sammy is always fond of jumping the gun.He did the same on the Menzgold issue and later He came know the truth.We should always be careful of politicians.
