The Ashanti Region branch of the Public Service Workers' Union (PSWU) Women's Wing has appealed to the police to consider arresting men who solicit for women, instead of arresting women alone for prostitution, reports the Times. In its main front page story headlined: "Men too walk the streets...Women call for their arrest", the Times says in a resolution passed at a regional conference delegates' conference yesterday, the women said men are equally guilty but they are not arrested for prosecution. The Times says the resolution urged Parliament, as a matter of urgency, to enact stringent laws to deter rapists. GRi

Odum, head of Public Relations of the GES, who announced this in Accra on Wednesday, said the measure followed a staff rationalisation exercise introduced by the GES between July and August, to identify areas with excess staff in order to address the disparity in the distribution of personnel in the service.
