Ghana’s Morning voice, Kwami Sefa Kayi ‘Chairman General’ will in the coming days resume his duties at Peace FM after his long break, the Despite Media Group has said.
The good news was confirmed Thursday morning on the Kokrokoo morning show by Nana Yaw Kesseh, who has been sitting in for him since his absence.
According to Nana Yaw Kesseh, Kwami Sefa Kayi will resume work as the host of Kokrokoo on Monday, July 14, 2025. There has still not been any official communication about his long absence; however, the news got two of his colleagues, Adwoa Yeboah Agyei and Odi-Ahenkan Kwame Yeboah, jubilating.
Adwoa Yeboah Agyei sang a beautiful Adowa song for Kwami Sefa Kayi, welcoming him back from his leave and urging him to stay.
For years, Kwame Sefa Kayi has been the driving force behind Kokrokoo, dissecting national issues and interviewing key political figures, while shaping public discourse.
However, he suddenly went missing in January 2025, after the new National Democratic Congress (NDC) government took office.
Sefa Kayi’s absence was described by many as politically motivated due to his long-standing dispute with the governing party over an issue he had with the CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, in 2019. Kwame Sefa Kayi nearly sacked Sammy Gyamfi from the morning show during an episode after the latter allegedly disrespected him.
Many Ghanaians speculated that Kwami Sefa Kayi had either been sacked from the media house or had been forced to resign. However, Sefa Kayi granted an interview dismissing these reports and assuring the public of his return.
