Senior staff of the Volta River Authority (VRA) yesterday stormed Parliament, to demand the immediate withdrawal of bills proposing a merger between the VRA and Bui Power Authority.
This protest follows assurances from the Minister of State at the Energy Ministry, Herbert Krapah, that the government would no longer pursue the bills in Parliament.
According to the staff, the proposed merger is a veiled attempt to privatise the assets of both VRA and Bui Power Authority.
Although the bills are yet to be officially laid before Parliament, the staff insist they must be withdrawn entirely.
