In a short tribute on Facebook, Dr Bawumia expressed shock over the sudden death of popular Ghanaian broadcaster host of late afternoon political show, 'Ekosii Sen.'

General Secretary of National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, eulogising the late broadcaster, said KABA always pushed him to reveal secrets.

According to him, the late broadcaster had a unique way of making his guests reveal "hidden truths" to his audience.

"KABA always pushed me to reveal details I would have otherwise not done in interviews…he always pushed us to reveal serious details…," he said.

"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," he disclosed.
