The Volta River Authority (VRA) Retirees and Ladies Associations have pledged their full support for the new Acting Chief Executive of the Authority, Ing. Edward Obeng-Kenzo.
Their endorsement and support followed a series of separate and frank stakeholder engagements by the new leader of VRA to strengthen relations and build a collective ambition to improve the performance and efficiency of Ghana’s premier energy production company.
In his meeting with the retirees, Ing. Obeng-Kenzo expressed appreciation for the dedication and hard work of past employees, emphasizing the role they continue to play as ambassadors of VRA.
During the interaction, retirees shared insights and perspectives based on their experiences, while also discussing ways to enhance the welfare of former employees.
The Acting Chief Executive assured them of VRA’s continued support and reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to fostering a lasting bond with its retired workforce.
In a separate meeting, the Ladies Association of VRA has denied and distanced itself from recent media publications suggesting the association’s disapproval of Edward Obeng Kenzo as Acting Chief Executive.
The National President of VRA Ladies Association, Lady Susana Araphua Van-Brocke firmly refuted these claims and denounced the reports as baseless and false, unequivocally disassociating the association from such unfounded assertions.
The VRA Ladies Association rather extended their congratulations to Ing. Obeng-Kenza on his appointment as Acting Chief Executive, pledging their full support for his leadership.
Expressing their enthusiasm for his appointment, the Association, represented by a nine-member national executive delegation, assured the new VRA Boss of their dedication and emphasized their role as the driving force behind the authority’s operations.
The Accra Area President, Lady Gloria Tagoe highlighted the association’s ongoing efforts to empower and upskill women within the VRA, preparing them for leadership roles.
She requested Ing. Obeng-Kenzo’s support in these endeavours.
In response, the Acting Chief Executive expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome and assured the staff that he is committed to building upon the successes of his predecessor, striving to elevate the VRA to even greater heights.
He called on all staff members, particularly the association’s members, to work together diligently towards achieving the authority’s shared goals.
The engagements further reflect VRA’s broader vision of maintaining strong connections with all stakeholders to ensure business continuity, and leverage institutional knowledge for sustainable growth.
