Renowned journalist, Kwami Sefa Kayi has backed his colleague, Afia Pokuaa saying she will not put out anything unverified.
Vim Lady as she is popularly called received some flak after debunking reports that Health Minister, Kweku Agyemang-Manu has been infected with COVID-19.
In a post on social media, she indicated that she "spoke to the Minister of Health. He says he’s fine and doesn’t have COVID but only needed rest and his usual medication.”
However, President Akufo-Addo in his eleventh address to the country contradicted this and rather confirmed that the Dormaa Central MP indeed has been infected and responding to treatment.
Some critics, therefore, started questioning Vim Lady's post; accusing her of fabricating the report of her interaction. Some even dared the broadcaster to show proof of the said conversationwith the Health Minister by making public an audio of the interview.
However, Kwami Sefa Kayi reacting to a text message on his show 'Kokrokoo' on Peace FM, Monday, said until proven otherwise, "I stand with Afia..."
According to him, "Afia Pokuaa is not that reckless; so I stand with her too; I don't think she would have gone out just on her own volition to do that (claim she has spoken to the Health Minister). Until otherwise proven, I stand with Afia Pokuaa".

Vim Lady? Hmmmm, twisting, turning and adding unnecessary comments even when in the news room. She talks tooo tooo much.
At times I wonder why some journalists are always in haste to be the first to put out info. into the public domain. Maybe all in an effort to claim credit for being the source. This Afia Pokua lady is always fond of screaming, shouting and yelling on top of her voice as if to create the impression that her sources of info is impeccably the gospel truth. For me she doesn't impress me one bit even from her former station- Adom fm
GHANAIANS NE ***barred word***. THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY MEMBERS KEEP STEALING FROM THE POOR AND YOU ARE HERE BUSILY CRITICIZING ABOUT VIM LADY FOR SAYING THIS??. WHEN WILL YOU GUYS GROW UP AND REASON. SOON, YOU'LL ALL GET INFECTED WHEN YOU JOIN THE QUEUE TO REGISTER FOR THE NEW REGISTER. THAT'S WHERE YOU WILL SEE WHY I SAID, REFUSING TO GROW UP. ***barred word***.
Birds of the same feathers flock together. You are doing the same bidding so why won't you support her. The girl said one thing and the president said another, so who peddled falsehood?
