"I met him for the first time in 2001. I was only a student when he made me his producer. I don't know any politician I know which he didn't introduce me to," she narrated.

According to Vim Lady, the deceased broadcaster with a career spanning 25 years was so passionate about journalism and politics that it's possible he sometimes forgot to take his medications or even eat.

"Even if you remind him to take his medications or eat, you'll have to force him to do it," Vim Lady said in her tribute.

She added that people working in the media often become addicted to the job at the expense of their health and hinted at Kwabena Kwakye regretably being a casualty of his own passion, even though the cause of his untimely death is yet to be confirmed.
