VRA staff back Obeng Kenzo, denounce misleading reports

In a one-page press statement release today, February 10, 2025, Concerned staff members of the Volta River Authority (VRA) have come forward to unequivocally express their full support for the recent appointment of Ing. Edward Ekow Obeng Kenzo as VRA’s new leader, countering criticisms from a minority faction and addressing misleading reports in the media.

The staff’s statement strongly rebuked a sensationalist article published by The Republic Press, which portrayed the appointment in an unjustly negative light. Per the statement, the article misrepresented the situation and misled the public with an exaggerated rejection of Obeng-Kenzo’s appointment—an assessment they describe as unfounded, misguided, and fueled by divisive agendas.

According to the VRA staff, the appointment of Obeng Kenzo was overwhelmingly welcomed and celebrated within the organization. His reputation as a highly qualified professional with vast experience and expertise in the industry is widely acknowledged. The staff believe his leadership will not only drive operational efficiency but will also cultivate an inclusive environment that values collaboration, transparency, and innovation.

The statement goes on to condemn the criticisms as “Satanic, evil, and misguided,” rejecting attempts to create division where unity should prevail. It added that the objections raised by a small group of individuals are not reflective of the sentiments shared by the majority of VRA personnel, who remain committed to the success of the organization and the realization of its ambitious goals.

In a call for solidarity, the VRA staff urged stakeholders to focus on advancing the collective mission rather than succumbing to political or personal grievances. They stress that now is the time to unite and support the new appointee in his efforts to steer the organization toward a prosperous future.

“We must not be swayed by negativity or divisive tactics. In unity and strength, we will advance,” the statement concludes.

As the VRA continues to work toward its strategic objectives, the affirmation of support for Ing. Edward Ekow Obeng Kenzo underscores the critical role of strong, visionary leadership in fostering an environment of growth and innovation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DATE: 10-02-2025
ATTENTION: ALL MEDIA HOUSES.

RE- VRA STAFF REJECTS ING EDWARD EKOW OBENG-KENZO’s APPOINTMENT.

We feel compelled to address the unfounded, Satanic, evil, and misguided criticisms surrounding the overwhelming appointment of Ing Edward Ekow Obeng-Kenzo at the Volta River Authority (VRA). The announcement of his appointment was not just warmly received; it was celebrated as a welcome development that promises to advance our collective mission and enhance our organizational effectiveness.

It is disheartening that certain factions, driven by a desire for sensationalism rather than constructive dialogue, have chosen to undermine a decision that enjoys overwhelming support from the discerning and dedicated staff and friends of VRA. The so-called rejection expressed by a few black sheep does not reflect the sentiments of the majority at the VRA. Instead, it resonates with a discordant agenda aimed at creating division where there should be solidarity and Unity.

Our attention has been drawn to a sensationalist article published by the Republic Press, which has incited outrage with its misleading headline and distorted narrative. We categorically reject this malicious portrayal that seeks to tarnish the reputation of a highly qualified and capable professional. Such attempts to malign Obeng- Kenzo not only do him an injustice but also undermine the values of transparency and collaboration that we, as a community, strive to uphold.

We firmly believe that Ing Edward Ekow Obeng-Kenzo brings a wealth of experience and expertise crucial for the continued success of VRA. His leadership will undoubtedly catalyze innovation, enhance operational efficiency, and foster an inclusive environment where every voice is valued. We urge all staff and stakeholders to set aside the sponsored political and trivial grievances and focus on how we can collectively support our new appointee in realizing the ambitious vision for VRA.

Let us not be swayed by negativity or divisive tactics. It is imperative that we unite behind Ing Obeng Kenzo and reaffirm our commitment to the mission of VRA.

In unity and strength, we will advance!
Thank you
Signed
Concerned VRA STAFF
