ECG Senior Staff Association tells Ashanti Regional Minister to withdraw police case

Senior Staff Association of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has made a public appeal for the withdrawal of a legal case involving the Ashanti regional minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, and the ECG Ashanti East Manager, Ing. Mark Wiafe Asomani, from the police station.

This request was articulated by Bismark Adomah, the National Vice Chairman of the association, following a contentious situation between the regional minister and the ECG.

This comes after the regional minister was accused by the ECG in the Ashanti region of his role in the arrest of their General Manager, Ing. Wiafe Asomani, following a power outage at the Kumasi Technical University.

Speaking in an interview with Umaru Sanda on Eyewitness News, Adomah expressed concerns over the charges against the manager.

“What has he done , that is what we want to know. H e was charged which is why he was being asked to bail himself. B ut we don’t understand it , you’ve filed a case and taken a case to court then we all go to court and defend ourselves.

“We are saying that…he should withdraw the case from the police station,” he stated.

Meanwhile, The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, has also rejected calls from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) Workers' Union to apologise for the arrest of one of their Manager.

He defended his actions, stating that he had requested the Police to arrest the Ashanti East Manager of the ECG, Mark Wiafe Asomani, for security reasons.
