Staff of the EPA are expected to picket on Friday at the Ministry of Environment to protest against the attempt to forcefully eject their Executive Director from his official residence by the Minister of Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.
Information available to Starrfm.com.gh is that, the facility in question has been the official residence of Executive Directors of the EPA for the past 50 years but the Minister for Housing recently allocated it to the newly appointed Interior Minister Henry Quartey.
Despite attempts to stop the decision by the Housing Minister, he insists there is no official document allocating the facility to the EPA and he is bent on ejecting the new Executive Director who recently moved into the building.
The unhappy staff have since started protesting by putting red arm bands at vantage places to demand a reversal of the decision to allocate the building to the Interior Minister.
