Some are praising him for his contribution to Ghana’s legal sector.
Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni praised him for his advocacy for human rights in Ghana.
“He lived by the right creed. He stood for many just causes and championed the passage of civil society-backed laws such as Ghana's Right to Information Act. Lawyer Akoto Ampaw, you have fought a good fight. Rest well,” he wrote on X.
