Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has called for the immediate sacking of the Chief Executive Officer of the Volta River Authority (VRA) Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa.
According to Mr Ablakwa, Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa is incompetent and has also hit the retirement age hence; he should not be allowed to remain at post.
In a social media post, the North Tongu MP accused the VRA boss of abandoning the victims of the Akosombo Dam spillage, an incident he said was caused by the VRA.
He noted that instead of working on the construction of resettlement homes, he was busily organising karaoke and jams.
“Ghanaians expect GRA boss Rev. Dr. Amishadai Owusu-Amoah to be prosecuted instead of a mere cozy send off so he can return to his favourite hide-out in São Tomé and Príncipe.
“Also, why is his 63-year-old counterpart at VRA, Mr. Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa still at post as CEO? This VRA CEO after creating the biggest man-made-disaster in September last year, had no difficulty with his conscience in organizing a VRA end-of-year carnival, karaoke and jams.
“6 months after his catastrophic spillage, the VRA CEO hasn’t commenced the construction of resettlement homes neither has he compensated his victims most of whom are sheltering in tents.”
He therefore said the “VRA CEO Mr. Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa must be fired now! “
Mr Ablakwa opined that with no work to do at VRA, “he can organize more private carnivals as a retirement hobby.”
He stressed that the way must be paved for responsible young citizens to take the many mantles to lead.
“Retirees, particularly the non-performing ones, should stop desperately clinging on and give able young people a chance to move our nation forward.
“Leaders must have respect and empathy for the people they serve — it’s the people’s right.”
