Members of the Senior Staff Association of the Volta River Authority (VRA) have voiced their dissatisfaction with the government’s lack of response regarding their opposition to the proposed merger with the Bui Power Authority.
This frustration comes after a closed-door meeting on October 3, where VRA senior staff met with the Minister of State for Energy, Herbert Krapah.
During this meeting, the government allegedly indicated it would retract the merger bill from Parliament.
In an interview with Citi News, Applause Ebenezer Sedziafa, the Divisional Secretary for the VRA branch of the Public Sector Workers Union, expressed disappointment over the situation but confirmed that the VRA would persist in advocating for its demands.
“We are still waiting for the Minister to issue a statement.
We are concerned given the assurance we received. We haven’t decided on the next steps yet but are considering our options carefully.
“We don’t want to act prematurely. We’re taking things step by step, and we remain in control. Our demands stand. Staff members are still wearing red bands, and we are ready, waiting for the Minister’s response,” he said.
