Accra, Nov. 18, GNA – Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers Association of Ghana (RAAG), has been formed to ensure high professionalism in the industry.

The Association aims to give voice to the industry, which has become dormant and neglected by government for so many years.

Speaking at the inauguration of the association recently in Accra, Reverend Father Joshua Annoh, President of RAAG, said the many quack engineers in the sector called for the formation of this Association to get rid of them.

He said the Association would seek to train its members to provide quality services to customers.

He said RAAG would serve as a platform for its members to come together to share ideas and experiences to help promote the industry.

Mr John Sewu, Secretary of the RAAG, said many people were ignorant about the important of the profession, hence its formation.

He said RAAG would put in place pragmatic measures to ensure that fake spare parts brought into the country to be used for servicing refrigerators and air conditioners become a thing of the past.

He called on government to ensure fairness in the award of public contracts by recognizing the important role of local contractors as well.
