Senior staff of the Volta River Authority (VRA), and members of the Public Services Workers Union (PSWU), have staged a protest at the VRA headquarters in Accra.
The demonstration on Wednesday was in opposition to a proposed merger between the VRA and the Bui Power Authority.
They also raised objections to a draft bill currently in Parliament that seeks to consolidate the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), with the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo), and create an independent Thermal Power Authority from VRA’s thermal plants.
Chairman of the VRA Senior Staff Association, Mr. Theophilus Tetteh Ahia, during the protest, called for the immediate withdrawal of the merger bill.
