Kwame Sefa Kayi does not deserve the 2017 best journalist award and that is according to Afia Pokuaa, popularly referred to as Vim lady.
During her signing out on her flagship programme; Burning Issues, Wednesday on Adom FM, the Multimedia journalist indicated, the host of Kokrokoo on Peace FM, Kwame Sefa Kayi popularly referred to as Chairman General was above the award and therefore did not deserve it.
The Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) on Wednesday awarded the Chairman General the best journalist for the year 2017, an event that saw to the awarding of other journalists in different categories.
She queried, “How can you give Chairman General Journalist of the year?’’
Afia Pokua says taking into consideration the achievements chocked by Mr. Kayi, he is above such an award.
She indicated, he exceeded every local award since according to her; Sefa Kayi has been very effective in his almost thirty years of journalism practice.
“…I don’t understand why GJA presented him that award. How can you give him such an award? His contribution towards national development has been immense. He is such a big brand and exceeds such awards” she affirmed.

I think I concur with her perspective. Chairman General is way beyond that children award. Chairman Sefa Kayi's brand is a heavy one
Yes Chairman is above the award. He deserve to be honoured not awarded. If he was to be in UK.. he would have been honoured with OBE or above. It least a road or a monument or something must be name after him.
I agree with her. Chairman is bigger than this award. They should have honour him with the house and other pleasing items rather than attaching it to the award. He need to be honoured but not to be awarded because he has contributed a lot to the fraternity
misleading healine
Yea I think what she said it's right at least the young and up coming journalist should be given opportunity to shine. Kwame sefa Kayi is above and he has received a lot of awards and everyone knows he is the best so it's not a surprise award
My Chairman General Congratulation
Hahahahaaaaaa!!!! Guys you people are not reading in between the lines..This is a new era or start of GJA awards where the winner receives whopping 3-bedroom house. do you think the organizers are ***barred word*** to give it to any ordinary person/journalist?? i dont think his previous awards come close to this so essentially if something big is coming then of course they have to start it with him, Chairman General. Hahahahaaa!!! This is Ghana. This is Africa # TIG #TIA
Yes, Kwame Sefa Kayi is above GJA award, he deserves a National Award because he has moved journalism unto another level which is very recommendable. I wish the other journalists will also pick on a project to implement in addition to the good work that they are doing. Once again, CONGRATULATIONS CHAIRMAN GENERAL.
I think the problem is the headline. Reading through the message, I think she should have used ABOVE instead of does not deserve. Her statement should have been KWAME SEFA KAYI IS ABOVE BEST JOURNALIST AWARD.
Couldn't you have captioned your story differently from what you have? It cornets a wrong impression if the full story is not read. How you caption titles to stories is very important. Thank you
