“He was such a professionals, professional, well, it’s as it some people come into this world and they know that is somewhere they are going to go so the pack a lot of things into that. I think Elvis has written his name in gold and will be remembered for all the good work that he has done,” Mr Ashigbey said.
Mr Kwashie, who is being remembered for his phenomenal leadership and impact in the Ghanaian media landscape, died at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) on Tuesday night after a short illness.
