Govt yet to respond to our opposition to Bui Power proposed merger – VRA Senior Staff

Members of the Senior Staff Association of the Volta River Authority (VRA) have expressed frustration over the government’s silence on their opposition to the proposed merger between the VRA and the Bui Power Authority.

This follows a closed-door meeting on October 3 between VRA Senior Staff and the Minister of State for Energy, Herbert Krapah, during which the government reportedly promised to withdraw the merger bill from Parliament.

Speaking to Citi News, the Divisional Secretary of the VRA branch of the Public Sector Workers Union, Applause Ebenezer Sedziafa, voiced disappointment but affirmed that the VRA would continue to push 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.
