The acting Chief Executive of the Volta River Authority has issued a warning to the workers not to sign any petition to the President, asking for the return of the Chief Executive, Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby to Office.
President Kufuor has held a series of meetings with the workers and management aimed at resolving the issue.
During a meeting last Thursday with the embattled chief executive and the workers’ leaders, the national security coordinator, Francis Poku was asked to investigate outstanding issues which form the core of the workers’ allegations against their Chief Executive.
JOY FM is reliably informed that the two-week investigation is nearing completion and will be presented to the President soon. However, the petition, which is yet to be presented to the President is causing a stir at the VRA Head Office in Accra.
The Chief Executive, Jabesh Amissah Arthur issued a directive on Monday noting that certain individuals were soliciting signatures to support a call on the President for an early resolution of the dispute.
It described the move as inappropriate saying it will not help in the early resolution of the matter. The workers who allegedly wrote the petition have been ordered to cease their action. And all workers have been asked to ignore any request for them append their signature to the petition.
Meanwhile, the workers leaders have been meeting over the last couple of days to find ways of containing the agitation among workers over the prolonged effort to resolve the Wereko Brobby issue.
