The appointment of the Chief Executive of the Volta River Authority (VRA), Gilbert Ohene Dokyi, has been terminated. He has been asked to hand over to Government Energy Advisor and chairman of the yet to be inaugurated VRA board, Dr. Charles Wereko Brobbey.
The appointment takes immediate effect. Dr. Wereko Brobbey has confirmed his new appointment in an interview with Joy FM. Energy Minister, Albert Kan Dapaah, says Dr Charles Wereko-Brobbey has been asked to act as the Chief Executive of the Volta River Authority because the current chief executive, Gilbert Ohene Dokyi’s pension is long overdue.
Speaking in an interview with Joy FM, Mr Kan Dapaah said Mr Ohene-Dokyi has not been sacked. Mr. Ohene Dokyi was one of the few chief executives appointed by the NDC government who were not asked to proceed on leave when the NPP took over power.
A number of committees were formed to investigate the dealings of the VRA but no incriminating findings were made. Dr. Wereko Brobbey who was Presidential candidate of the United Ghana Movement (UGM) in the December elections has lately doubled as presidential advisor and was recently appointed board chairman of the VRA. Dr. Wereko Brobbey.
