The Member of Parliament for Asuogyaman Constituency in the Eastern Region, Hon. Thomas Ampem Nyarko, has strongly cautioned the government against any plans to privatize the assets of the Volta River Authority (VRA).
The government's draft bill proposes merging the VRA with Bui Power Authority, consolidating the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) with the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo), and creating an independent Thermal Power Authority.
This proposal has sparked strong reactions from VRA staff, leading to protests. Red flags have been posted across VRA offices as a symbol of their resistance.
According to the MP, such a move would be resisted by him and his constituents, particularly the workers of VRA.
Thomas Ampem Nyarko expressed these sentiments during the official launch of his re-election campaign in South Senchi on Saturday.
