Renowned lawyer, Maurice Ampaw opened up about his strained relationship with his late father, Gibson Dokyi Ampaw, a prominent legal practitioner and former Minister of Health in the erstwhile Busia regime.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Ampaw shared how his father\u2019s absence affected him profoundly, despite the similarities in their personalities and careers.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Ampaw revealed that, he had a distant relationship with his father due to his parents\u2019 separation when he was just two years old.<\/p>\n

Raised by his single mother after they moved from Laterbiorkorshie to Sukura in Accra, he only saw his father three times in his entire life.<\/p>\n

Though his father took care of him financially, he revealed in an interview on Delay Show that, he never had fatherly love as his influential father was mostly absent.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father took care of us financially, but I never had fatherly love,\u201d Lawyer Ampaw lamented. \u201cHe used to call me a bad boy, a rascal, and threatened to have me arrested by the police. Funny enough, I was the only one among his kids who followed in his footsteps to become a lawyer. The son he rejected was the one who took after him.\u201d<\/p>\n

He recounted how, in his father\u2019s will, he was referred to as \u201cthe bad boy,\u201d though he was bequeathed an eight-bedroom storey building.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Ampaw further described his father as a radical yet exceptional lawyer who was highly regarded in Akyem Abuakwa and Koforidua because he never lost a case in his 11 years of legal practice.<\/p>\n

He also served as a Minister of Health and a Member of Parliament, among other top positions until his death in 2015.<\/p>\n

His father, Gibson Dokyi Ampaw, married three women and had 14 children.<\/p>\n
