Chairman General Kayi answers celebrity roll call on JoyFM
With easily the most famous voice on radio,
punctuated with a loud, wheezy laughter, the three
time Radio Personality Award winner is still a
stranger to the celebrity lifestyle.

Check out the next waakye joint near you; or maybe
the kelewele or Bayire [the local names for fried
plantain and yam] joints and if you spot a bald
headed-somewhat- pregnant; old but young man
chomping his delicacy with delight, it may well be
the only Chairman General on radio, Kwami Sefa
Kayi.

The nimble-witted fellow, with a glowing candour
and a fascinating sense of humour took his turn on
Bola Ray’s Personality Profile on Joy FM and
narrated how he rose from two trousers and three
shirts to a wardrobe full of cloths he doesn’t
need any more.

He was neither born in a mansion nor had a Harvard
College education. In fact he failed his Math and
may probably still have Math arrears to better.
All he had was a burning desire and an
overwhelming determination to make it in life, no
matter the long odds.

He was turned away at the Ghana Institute of
Journalism when he attempted to begin his journey
into radio but his math debacle followed him there
too and was rejected. He never gave up. He went
round his obstacle, started from GBC through to
P&P and Tarzan’s magazine and now he is the host
one of the biggest, most listened to morning show
programmes Kokrokoo on Peace FM.

His versatility is all too visible. The
“benevolent dictator” as some of his
panellists would call him, was only recently a
fine figure on the movie screens. And while he may
have been bounced by his first girl friend and
cried as a result, his masterful touch of romance
has never failed him. It left a memorable print on
the lip of fellow actress Lydia Forson whose
testimony that Kwami was her best kisser on set
found expression on DJ Black’s week-end warmer
adverts all the time.

Guess what? If Lydia Forson felt that way on set
with dozens of camera men and crew watching, you
can just imagine what Mrs Kayi, the original
owner, the charming “domestic terrorist” to
the chairman general will feel in the corridors of
her bedroom with nobody watching, except the
chairman himself, right there in charge.
Sagyiwaaaa!!!!!

Play the attached audio, celebrate and listen to
the full story of how the Chairman General
together with his childhood friend survived a near
fatal drown in a ditch at the Garrison Primary
School and what he does to his radio when the
infamous Lydia Forson kissing testimony is played
in the presence of his adorable kids.
