The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has described the late Asempa FM presenter, Kwadwo Asare Barfour Acheampong (KABA) as a presenter who always induce him to reveal secrets.
According to General Mosquito as he is widely called, the late radio presenter has a unique way of posing questions to interviewees that could force them to reveal ‘hidden truths’ in issues.
“KABA always pushed me to reveal details I would have otherwise not have done in interviews…he always pushed us to reveal serious detail”, he said.
The General Secretary of the biggest opposition party in Ghana was among the numerous persons who were always interviewed by the late presenter.
There were times when he would walk into the studio of Asempa FM for a one-on-one interview with KABA on his show.
“I met KABA recently and he complained that there were times when he was accused of either being an NPP or NDC, I told him that was a sign that he was doing well. The fact that you received criticisms from those two sides meant you are doing things right,” the General Mosquito told KABA.
The talented broadcaster with The Multimedia Group Limited died in the early hours of Saturday, 18th November 2017.
KABA until his sudden death, was the host of the popular late afternoon political talk show, “Ekosii Sen” on Asempa 94.7 FM.
He was married to Valentina Ofori Afriyie who is also a broadcaster with Accra-based Class FM and they have one daughter.
The Chief Executive Officer of The Multimedia Group, Kwasi Twum has since consoled the family by expressing his condolences to the wife and the entire family when he led management and staff of the Multimedia Group to the residence of KABA shortly after the news of his sudden death reached them.
