Public Urged To Give Information On VRA To Committee

The Ministry of Energy on Friday urged members of the public who have any information on the Volta River Authority (VRA) to send it to the Committee set up by the Minister to investigate allegations made against the Chief Executive.

A statement signed by the Public Relations Officer, Ms Florence Boakye said the Ministry has noted with concern a statement issued by the Minority asking among other things, for the interdiction of the Chief Executive, Dr Charles Wereko-Brobbey.

The statement said the VRA is a strategic national organisation and that all and sundry should all act with extreme caution when it comes to issues pertaining to the VRA. The Minority in Parliament accused the government of being passive and offering weak responses to the crisis at VRA.

The Minority Spokesman on Energy, Mr Paakuna Seidu Adamu told a press conference in Parliament that the Minister of Energy, Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom has so far misled Ghanaians on the true state of affairs at the VRA. But the statement said the critical role of VRA in the nation’s life cannot be gainsaid and any issue that adversely impacts on the organisation has dire consequence for the economy of Ghana and the people of Ghana.
