At a news conference at Kpong in the Eastern Region, the group, United Krobo Foundation said the demonstration could be the biggest ever against the VRA.

In August this year, the group wrote to VRA reminding it of its responsibilities in resettled communities affected by the creation of Akosombo and Kpong Dams.
