Former Chief Executive Officer of the Volta River Authority, VRA, Dr. Charles Wereko-Brobbey has told a Fast Track High Court in Accra that he did not vacate his post as claimed by the defence.  He said the person who appointed him asked him to resign.

 

During cross examination, Dr. Wereko-Brobbey told the court that he was only demanding payment of GH¢220,000 as his entitlement from VRA as well as an interest on that entitlement from 2004. He also asked for an order to be issued to the VRA to transfer to him ownership of a Volvo saloon car which was officially assigned to him.

Dr. Wereko-Brobbey also rejected claims from Defence Counsel that he offered to become the CEO to VRA because the position was attractive saying he was appointed by President John Agyekum Kufuor. He said he could not give notice to the board when he resigned from VRA because he was not allowed to do so. He explained that the VRA agreed to pay him certain entitlements so those are what he is claiming.
