Management of the Ghana Gas Company has revealed the Volta River Authority (VRA) owes the company 735 million dollars which was incurred as a result of VRA’s inability to pay for gas supplied to power its thermal plants.
Addressing the media on Monday, the Ghana Gas Head of Finance, Emmanuel Essel said this development is affecting the company’s financial status.
