ALLEGED MANIPULATIONS OF THE SYSTEM BY UGCS IN TODAYS' UGSRC ELECTIONS


Information reaching us is an attempt by the  University of Ghana Computing System (UGCS)  to manipulate the system to favour specific candidates and factions in today’s UGSRC Elections. “In every rumour there is a little bit of truth”, An anonymous student of the Premier University had told Walkingencyclopaedia360. We believe it will continue to be speculations and an unfounded allegation. The EC had proposed for an Online voting system for Level 100’s and 400’s and an onsite face-to-face voting for Level 200’s and 300’s for today’s UGSRC Elections. The Electoral Commission of UGSRC had proposed for 2 phases and had tabled before the Executive Committee of UGSRC for further debates, deliberation and balloting which had successfully been done. The EXCOM had favour the UGCS against the open of tender to private Information Technology systems. 

The students body had all endorsed you for your track record in previous UGSRC Elections. We have believed in the efficient delivery in ensuring fairness and  transparency in elections and its related activities. You were nearly dejected from conducting this years UGSRC Elections as a result of lapses or loopholes your system. All the stakeholders have accepted in good faith for you to conduct the Elections. Most of the candidates advocated for you to conduct today’s elections, this should inform you the confidence the general students body has reposed in you that you are on top of the game and you could conduct the elections in all fairness  and transparency it deserves. 

On no account should an autonomous institution like UGCS should attempt to manipulate the system in favour of specific Candidates in today’s elections. You should for today the UGCS be an extension of the Electoral Commission who has the mandate in conducting UGSRC Elections. The students anticipates  that you should share in the vision of the Commission in ensuring transparency and fairness in the elections. You should not allowed your outfit to be used as a conduit of manipulation to rig today’s election against the serving candidates.

The Electoral Commission's  aim at ensuring transparency should not be a nine days wonder. The Electoral Commission should not seduce UGCS to manipulate the system in favour of any candidate. Today’s election is a an experiment and a test case for the EC.  And this would serve as an index to measure the impartiality and independence of the Commission in organizing future UGSRC Elections.  As a Commission you should subject yourself to the constitution of the SRC, and the regulations governing the elections pertaining to C.I 21.

The students would not accept the results of a fraudulent elections. And would be redressing the matter at the UGSRC Judicial Body, and an external court if any malpractices take place. This would stall the administration of the school, and would not augment academic and co-curricular activities on the main and various campuses across the university. We shall not countenance any act of malpractice in today’s elections. 

Walkingencyclopaedia360 wish you all the candidates all the best of luck.

67 Years Of Independence: The State Of Ghana's Economy

It is quite imperative to note that after 67 years of independence from the shackles of colonial rule, the state of Ghana's economy has been tattered beyond repair.  Seven at the International Monetary Fund for financial stability and the World Bank for budget support. One may question the country's membership to the IMF and the WB so entitled to the loans, grants, and aid from the Bretton Woods Institution. The issue about that is the indiscriminate application from the Fund and the Bank since the attainment of independence and statehood. Most of the time our request for funds comes when all financial and fiscal indications show that we do not qualify for the fund. The Fund in turn imposes certain stringent measures to be complied with about fiscal policies, and taxation for us to meet the requirement and qualify for the funds. We are very much aware of the issues of GETFUND, ESLA, and E-LEVY as collateral to meet the financial obligation, not forgetting the controversial Deb...

He made this profound statement to buttress his stance on his recent pronouncement that, the 2024 general elections are going to be ‘Do or die'. He had declared his stance that this does not translate into ‘All die be die', as the incumbent president, President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo,  made us believe in the run-up to the 2016 general elections. The rank and file of his party and scores of Ghanaians had commended him for affirming his stance and taking steps to prevent possible rig of the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.  He had condemned what he for seen as bias on the part of the Supreme Court in manipulating the ruling of the 2020 petition he filed against the Electoral Commission. He had assured that he would not resort to the court for redr...
