Chief Executive Officer of Volta River Authority (VRA), Mr Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa, has announced that VRA will supply power to Mali and other West African countries by 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the resources to supply power beyond our jurisdiction and dominate the sub-region. We have reasons to believe that we will be dominant because we are efficient compared to our colleagues in the sub-region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have better indigenous resources required for
\nefficient power generation; we are not that bad. We are a very sophisticated
\nenergy sector comparable to the industrialised countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The chief executive of VRA made this known during a ceremony organised by the Africa Centre for Integrity and Development (ACiD) on Friday, December 20 in Accra.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are doing a background check for other
\norganisations so that we can reward those who are doing the hard and honest
\nwork.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe search for public sector organisations that
\nportray fairness in their procedures, procurements, as well as those who fight
\nagainst corruption and help with the development of the country,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
