Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Yaw Amoateng Afriyie, has eulogised his late father, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, who would have turned 70 today.
In a post, he disclosed that he cannot repay the sacrifices of the former CEO of the Forestry Commission and promised to keep his memory alive.
“Remembering a great father, Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, Sir John, on his posthumous 70th Birthday. I cannot repay your sacrifices, and the least I can do is help keep your memory alive. God bless and keep you until we meet again.
“From your grateful son, Yaw Amoateng Afriyie. Deputy CEO, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre,” he wrote.

He was buried at his hometown Sakora Wonoo in the Kwabre East District of the Ashanti Region on June 3, 2021.
