This is not an apology. In any case, this is your superior as a regional minister. Couldn't you also approach him in private as you wanted him to do?

Sack him. He is disloyal and indisciplined. If left alone others will follow. Make a scape of him. How on earth drive 5 fire tenders without water to an active fire zone, and still have the temerity to talk to the regional minister, when queried. Is not business as usual. Will never happen in the USA. We voted for efficiency and effectiveness for a change. Sack that loud mouth. We are not a joking nation.

This King Notey guy should be demoted immediately or transfer to a remote area now. He is a politician.
Nonsense like that.

Does the Fire Service need a PRO? It needs men and women committed to fighting fires.

I don't think so. Like you rightly said the Minister's time depends on his government in power that is why he has to be very concern with a disaster in his region. It is apt when he is on site instead of making phone calls. The PRO is not the overall in the fire service therefore his reply on social media was not right. I think his boss even reprimanded him.

Also the PRO has to be careful when his political party is not in power. It can cause him. This is common sense.

Wat is the crisis management structure in the region
Wat are the crises management standard operating practices in the region regards fire incidents building collapse drowning and flooding vehicular incidents involving large numbers of the populace
Every district region and the state should have these down

Honorable Ashanti region minister please display your power . If the fire service personnel are saying that there was no water in the tank to fight the fire when they reported at the scene , you should dismiss the fire chief , his deputy and the officers who were assigned to that fire truck. How many times have Ghanaians been told that fire service personnel reported at a scene of an inferno without water in their tanks . In one shameful instance , the service personnel were fighting the fire with sachet water. How shameful and disgusting it is . Yet people still maintain their jobs after this disgraceful incidents . If this had happened in any of the advanced countries, not only would the personnel be fired , the fire department would have been sued also . The interior minister must terminate their appointments .

How can you render a sincere apology when you say "I stand by my stance"?
You're an NPP Stooge and very DISRESPECTFUL to the Regional Minister. Could you say a WORD to your INCOMPETENT former NPP regional minister?

I don't understand why the apology. The minister goofed by attacking firefighters publicly. If it's true that the president commended them, then minister rather owes the firefighters an apology. Some of these ministers are too pompous.

Didn't the past Ashanti Regional minister also have issues with ECG staff some time past?

He should be fired from his post. He is a politician and politicians should not hold such positions since they can sabotage the government's effort to stop fires nationwide.
His old posts have exposed him. Why didn't he blame the former government for not equipping the GNFS for the past 8years and is already blaming this hardworking minister for not equipping the service for under 3 months in office? All the sins of Nana Addo and his government, he never criticised them for once.

Officer, you did nothing wrong. He knows you are ill equipped yet he chose to lambast you publicly to feel relevant.

Do you call this an apology, afraid man. If you say even though you still stand by what you earlier said, why then do you render an apology.
