The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress 9NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has described the late Asempa FM presenter, Kwadwo Asare Barfour Acheampong (KABA) as a presenter who always pushed him to reveal secrets.
According to General Mosquito, 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 details…,” he said.
The General Secretary of the largest opposition party 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.
“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,” General Mosquito told KABA when he met him recently.
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 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, having worked many years with Radio Gold and Spirit Fm in Kumasi.
He left behind a daughter.
