The donation reportedly took place just hours before news of the businessman's alleged passing began to circulate online on Thursday, August 20, 2026, lending added significance to the gesture at a time when many are awaiting official confirmation.
Kessben's final philanthropic act
An image from the donation ceremony was published on the official Facebook page of Kessben FM. The caption accompanying the post read:
"Kessben Outreach Foundation and Kessben TV/FM donate to the Kumasi Central Prisons."
The post described the donation as consistent with Lawyer Kesse's longstanding dedication to supporting vulnerable communities, framing it as part of a broader pattern of philanthropic work linked to him and his organisations.
The timing of the donation, coming so close to the reports of his passing, has made it a focal point of public attention as Ghanaians process the uncertain news surrounding his reported death.
Family and management yet to confirm death
As of the time of publication, neither the family of Lawyer Stephen Kwabena Kesse nor the management of the Kessben Group has issued an official statement on the matter.
The absence of any formal communication has left many unable to confirm the reports, with public attention fixed on what his next of kin and company representatives will say.
Popularly known as Kessben, Lawyer Stephen Kwabena Kesse is a prominent Ghanaian businessman and the founder of the Kessben Group of Companies.
His business interests span several sectors, and he is widely recognised for his role in the Ghanaian media landscape through Kessben FM and Kessben TV, both based in Kumasi.
Beyond commerce and broadcasting, Kesse built a reputation for community-focused initiatives, with the Kessben Outreach Foundation serving as the vehicle through which he channelled much of that charitable work.
The donation to Kumasi Central Prisons represents the most recent example of that philanthropic commitment to surface publicly.
