Veteran media personality, Kofi Okyere Darko, well known as KOD, speaks about his experience at EIB and relationship with Bola Ray.
In a recent interview with Roselyn Feli on the “PrimeMorning” show on Joy Prime, KOD disclosed he had to endure six months of work without getting paid. Coupled with the sour relationship between him and his former boss, Bola Ray.
The fashion enthusiast revealed that, the station was at their lowest, financially, and it caused them to lose a lot of their staff at the time. He also mentioned working for months without salary which made him and his colleagues leave the station at the time.
“I told Bola I was taking a leave without pay since there was no money already. I worked for about 6months without pay. So I took a walk and we’re cool”. He said
