Members of the Senior Staff Association of Volta River Authority (VRA) are lamenting the lack of response from the government over their opposition to the proposed VRA and Bui Power Authority merger.<\/p>\n
This follows a closed-door meeting between the Senior Staff of the VRA and the minister of state for Energy Herbert Krapah on October 3, where the government promised to withdraw the proposed merger bill from Parliament.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Citi News, the Divisional Secretary of the VRA branch of the Public Sector Workers Union, Applause Ebenezer Sedziafa, while expressing disappointment, indicated that the VRA will continue to press its demands on the government.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are still waiting for the Minister to put up a statement. We are a bit worried per the assurance we received from the Minister. The way forward now, we have not met yet on that and I believe we are still thinking about that as to what exactly to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t want to run ahead of anything. We just want to take it from one step to another. So we are still in charge.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are still pressing home our demands. The red bands are flying. All the staff are in red bands and other things, waiting for the minister.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
