Peace FM presenters have revealed that Kwami Sefa Kayi, the iconic host of the “Kokrokoo” morning show, is expected to return to the airwaves on Monday.
The celebrated broadcaster, popularly known as “Chairman General,” has been off air since January 2025, leaving fans in suspense over his prolonged absence. While no official explanation has been provided, reports suggest his hiatus was linked to tensions with the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC). Listeners will have to wait until Monday to confirm whether the beloved host has indeed resumed his role, marking an end to months of speculation.
The controversy surrounding Sefa Kayi’s absence stems from allegations by some NDC members that he showed bias toward the then-ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) while allegedly disrespecting the NDC’s Communications Director, Sammy Gyamfi. The accusations fueled discontent among party loyalists, with some hardliners even urging NDC leaders to boycott the show and prevent the host’s return. Despite these tensions, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, Chairman of the NDC, recently appeared on the program and announced that the disagreements between Sefa Kayi and the party had been resolved. However, the host’s continued silence has left many questioning whether the reconciliation was truly finalized.
The potential return of Kwami Sefa Kayi has sparked mixed reactions among listeners and political observers. While his supporters eagerly await his comeback, critics remain skeptical, citing past accusations of political bias. The Kokrokoo show, a cornerstone of Ghanaian morning radio, has maintained its schedule with substitute hosts, who have amazingly performed exceedingly well. His absence has also raised broader concerns about media freedom and political interference in journalism, particularly when high-profile figures face pressure over perceived partisan leanings.
As Monday approaches, all eyes are on Peace FM to see if the “Chairman General” will finally reclaim his seat behind the microphone. His return could signal a fresh start for the program, but it may also reignite debates about neutrality in Ghana’s media landscape. For now, loyal listeners remain hopeful, while critics wait to see whether the celebrated host will address the controversies that kept him off air for nearly six months. One thing is certain: if Sefa Kayi does return, Monday’s broadcast will be one of the most talked-about episodes in the show’s history.
