Renowned broadcaster Kwami Sefa Kayi has come under fire for his perceived soft pedaling on the shortcomings of the Akufo-Addo administration. Critics accuse Sefa Kayi, known for his tough questioning style, of going easy on the government despite its controversial policies and actions.
The criticism follows Sefa Kayi’s recent interview with Alan Kyerematen, during which he posed a question about the presidential hopeful’s potential ministerial appointments. Many saw the question as biased and accusatory, sparking a heated exchange with A Plus, a supporter of Kyerematen.
However, Sefa Kayi’s detractors point to his relatively tame questioning style when interviewing government officials, contrasted with his more aggressive approach when grilling opposition figures.
This perceived double standard has led many to accuse Sefa Kayi of being too close to the government and failing to hold it accountable for its actions. Socialists like A-Plus think he has been bribed to support the NPP government even if they are doing things wrong.
Sefa Kayi’s acceptance of a role in a state institution from President Akufo-Addo has also raised eyebrows, with some questioning his independence and impartiality. As the criticism mounts, Sefa Kayi remains silent, fueling speculation about his relationship with the government and his commitment to journalistic integrity.
On August 6, 2021, Kwami Sefa Kayi took the oath of office as a board member of the National Petroleum Authority.
