Employees of the Ashanti Regional branch of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have declared their plan to raise red flags in their offices nationwide, beginning today.
Their aim is to compel an apology from the Regional Minister following allegations that he was involved in the arrest of their General Manager, Ing. Mark Wiafe Asumani, following a power outage at the Kumasi Technical University.
Mr. Asumani was subsequently released on self-recognizance bail.
Bismark Adomah, the National Vice Chairman of the Senior Staff Association for ECG, stated in an interview with Citi News that all meetings with the Ashanti Regional Minister will be boycotted until he offers an apology.
“Everyone in ECG is wearing red and hoisting the red flag. And secondly, we have also instructed our four general managers not to attend any meeting called by the regional minister.
“The invitation of the letter will let us know whether he is calling to apologize and if the invitation doesn’t state that, we will not attend the meeting. Yesterday, the NEC met and took the decision which has been communicated to all our members throughout the country.”
