The National Communication Bureau of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) wishes to inform all its Communicators, Media Monitors, and Officials that the Party has boycotted Peace (104.3) FM’s morning show (Kookrokoo) effective today, Wednesday, 6th May 2020.
This decision has been occasioned by the unfair paneling system that the Production Team of that program has continuously foisted on the NDC over a number of months. Specifically, the reason for this boycott has to do with the unreasonable decision of the Producers and Host of the program to permanently reserve one (1) of the two (2) slots the party has traditionally had on Wednesdays on the show to Mr. Allotey Jacobs, who is often introduced by the host of the program as a “Social Commentator with strong leanings to the NDC”, ostensibly to spite the NDC.
All efforts to get the Producers and Host of the program to give us a fair representation on the show over the past eight (8) months, including a complaint to the Management of the station for an amicable resolution of this matter, have proven futile, as the party continues to be treated with utmost contempt.
This unfair treatment flies in the face of the long-standing tradition of the program, which allocates two (2) slots each to the NDC and the NPP on Wednesdays and Fridays respectively. Although we appreciate the production and editorial discretion of the station to give their platform to whoever they deem fit, we consider it unfair for the NPP to maintain their two (2) slots on Fridays while the NDC’s two slots on Wednesdays are reduced to one (1), to satisfy the whim of a dictatorial Host and his poodle.
In protest to this flagrant disregard for fairness by the Host and Production Crew of the program, the National Communication Bureau of the NDC has decided to cease the placement of party communicators on the “Kookrokoo” show forthwith.
All Communicators, Media Monitors, Members, and Officials of the NDC are hereby entreated to refuse any invitations and/or interviews from the said program, until the station addresses our concerns and reviews their unfair paneling system.
Signed.
SAMMY GYAMFI
(National Communication Officer, NDC)
Listen to show host Kwami Sefa Kayi as he speaks to the issue on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 edition of the program.

They did same to JoyFM to cow them to submission. They succeeded. Now JoyFM had turned into Radio Gold extension. Their tactics worked and want to use same on PeaceFM. Peace FM shine your eyes. Your success had been your content and NOT the presence of NDC. Go on doing the right thing as always. The Bawumia PUNCH is the problem...lol..JM cannot even manage CHALK problems...lol
I like that. Who cares if the refuse to participate in the kokrokoo program. they are only trouble makers their absent will never reduce the quality of the program. I'm praying that they never come back again.
Mark my word he(they) will come back within a months time. Sefa Kayi will loose my respect I have for him if he accepts Sammy Gyamfi to come back on his show. Kwame the ndc needs you much more than you need them. Now ndc chairman who was then their national organiser, Baba Jamal, Ama Chavez, Hannah Bissiw, Ofosu Kwakye and now the maligned by his party Allotey Jacob used your biggest listening platform to come to power. Maybe, just maybe Sammy Gyamfi was then too young to remember. Give the fullest respect to the one and only chairman. He has done his maximum best to be fair, firm and just.
Trouble oooo. Now Kwamena Duncan will have more time and space to do his concert every Wednesday morning on Peace FM whiles Central Region is in a mess. As we speak Mr. Duncan you can't even get your DCEs to ensure that people in your region are wearing nose & mouth masks. The virus is spreading fast in Central Region and by end of next week we will be having between 50 and 100 cases in your region.
I’ve never liked people calling another people’s names. People calling Mahama some names and some also insulting the brilliant Dr. Bawumia. Now it is this young guy Sammy Gyamfi calling Kwame Sefa Kayi a dictator and his formal dog breeds (meaning of poodle). This small boy calling KSK a dictator and those around dogs. I can’t begin to think far. We are here watching what will happen. This time round don’t let him just apologize and move on because he has insulted all those who has being listening to the show. He can’t call us dogs and still expects us to listen to him on your show. It can be any person from NDC but not him.
Good riddance!!! at long last I can now go back and listen to intelligent discussions on Kokrokoo. I actually stopped listening to that proghramme some time back when people like this Gyamfi guy and his cohorts started coming on the programme to indulge in infantilities. Peace FM please note that the day you bring them back I am also OUT!!!.
Im sure all NDC is trying to say is that Peace Fm should be fair to them by allowing them their 2 slots on Wednesdays, social commentator can come any other day. NPP has a full 2 on fridays and when it gets to NDC you give them 1 and introduce a commentator
the umbrella is faulty beyond repairs whilst the rains are in. So how will you go out IN A FAMILY WHERE THERE IS NO ELDERLY PERSON TO CONTROL AND STIR AFFAIRS THE CHILDREN MISBEHAVE. The case study of NDC
Boycott party from parliament to radio station. You may decide not to come again oooooo who cares. Because Allotey Jacob a renowned NDC activist turn to speak against his own party propagandas, he has now become an enemy to you and even the one seat he occupies is not yours. oooooo mo ne nokware abo nsaaho. I wish the station does not call you people again until you swallow your own pride
After throwing their fu01ish case out by the Supreme, they are now directing their anger to Peacefm.You only go there to lie, which unacceptable.
