Komenda Edinar Eguafo Abirim (KEEA) District Chief Executive (DCE) Mr. George Frank Asmah has incured the displeasure of not only the Fire Station at Elmina but the townsfolk with one action. He unilaterally ordered the closure of the district fire office in October last year and has since “gone to sleep.” Now the townsfolk, principally fishermen and women who depend on fossil fuel (pre-mix) for their operations are questioning what happens in the face of a fire accident.
Even though DCE Asmah insists the act was a disciplinary action to instil some sense of responsibility in the officers, the general perception in the town was that the closure of the station was the last in a series of attempts by Mr. Asmah to demonstrate his might as DCE. He was severally accused of placing himself in a position of conflict with the Member of Parliament for the area and other public figures.
