\n

The Engineering Council of Ghana has expressed disappointment over Ashanti Regional Minister Simon Osei-Mensah\u2019s refusal to apologise to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) Workers\u2019 Union for the arrest of one of their Managers.<\/p>\n

Mr. Osei-Mensah firmly rejected the Workers\u2019 Union\u2019s request for an apology regarding the arrest of ECG\u2019s Ashanti Region East Manager, Ing. Mark Wiafe Asomani.<\/p>\n

The Minister defended his decision, citing security concerns that prompted him to instruct the police to summon Ing. Asomani.<\/p>\n

In a Citi News<\/strong> interview, the registrar of the Engineering Council, Engineer Isaac Bedu described the Regional Minister\u2019s actions as unfortunate and disclosed that the council will try to engage both parties on the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfortunate for him to interfere in the work of staff who are genuinely performing their duties and then when you are asked to apologise, you say you will not apologise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want this to be like a precedent where anybody can just interfere in the work of professionals when they are doing their work. We may engage further and we urge the workers to exercise restraint and go about their normal duties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
