Human rights advocate Akoto Ampaw wrote and compiled the book, which was released November 2 at the Ghana-India Kofi Annan International ICT Center in Accra.
Speaking at the event, MFWA executive director Kwame Karikari said the book was published to help people understand the laws enacted to bind people with "big mouths."
In a review of the book, Kofi Kumado – a law lecturer and head of the Legon Center for International Affairs (LECIA) – described the book as a "must-have" for all Ghanaians.
"The book provides the raw material ... not only to journalists and legal practitioners, but serves as a one-step vehicle to all who want to dig into, study and understand the history and evolution of law-making in relation to the media, speech and expression in Ghana," Kumado said.
To order the book, contact MFWA at mfwa@mfwaonline.org
