Journalist and Host of Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kwami Sefa Kayi has added his voice to calls for the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah to apologize to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) Workers’ Union.

The workers are demanding an apology from the Minister following the arrest of one of their Managers, Mark Wiafe Asomani.

However, the Minister has refused to apologise saying the arrest was for security reasons.

During a press conference in Kumasi on Thursday, the Minister said: “Do I have to apologize for doing my security work? What I want to tell you is that I asked the police to invite Ing Mark Asomani Wiafe on security grounds because of the happenings in the electricity sector in the region and the fact that a task force can always come from outside to disconnect without the proper information.

“What is ironic is that they tell me that they are not under me and for that matter, I cannot tell them what to do, but they want to tell me how to execute my security responsibilities as enshrined in the Securities and Intelligence Act of 2020, Act 10(30).”

Kwami Sefa Kayi during Monday's edition of his programme, urged the Minister to "just apologize".
