Kofi Okyere Darko is the Director of Diaspora Affairs at the Presidency
Director of Diaspora Affairs at the Presidency, Kofi Okyere Darko, popularly known as KOD, has shared his long-standing relationship with Ghanaian business mogul Osei Kwame Despite.
Speaking to Ghhyper at the grand opening of Osei Kwame Despite’s auto museum in East Legon on June 1, 2025, KOD revealed that his relationship with the Despite Media CEO dates back to his teenage years.
KOD shared that while he was in secondary school, he worked for Osei Kwame Despite by selling music CDs and cassettes.
He explained that this experience played a role in shaping his journey into the music and entertainment industry.
“When I was a teenager, I used to sell cassette and I worked from Lumba’s shop and I worked for Despite. That was my secondary school job. My introduction to the music industry and everything, this is part of the story,” KOD said.
He also mentioned that he was one of the early voices expected to join Peace FM when the station was being set up, but due to his existing role at another radio station, he couldn’t take up the opportunity.
“When Peace FM was being established, I was one of the quiet voices that was going to start but I was working at Radio Gold so I couldn’t show my face,” he added.
The event marked the official launch of Osei Kwame Despite’s auto museum, a first-of-its-kind collection showcasing vintage and luxury vehicles.
The museum has a collection of vintage Mercedes-Benz cars, Rolls Royce, Ferraris, a Bugatti, and several other luxury vehicles that are not commonly seen on Ghanaian roads.
