Dissolve Seven-Member-Committee; It Is Unconstitutional ~ Students Of The Premier University tell Dean of Student Affairs



Students of the Nation's Premier University, University of Ghana are calling for the immediate dissolution of the~7~member~committee established by the Dean of Students Affairs, Professor Godfred Alufa Bokpin, of which they believe its emergence is in contravention with the constitution of the Students' Representative Council.
According to them, the dean has no audacity to establish the committee.
The four elected bodies of the SRC; the President and his Vice, the Secretary and the Treasure had petitioned the office of Pro-Vice-Chancellor and copied the office of the Vice-Chancellor to summon and order the dean to dissolve the said committee which is of no legal effect and in conflict with the SRC's constitution.
It is on the grounds of article 31/of the SRC constitution that the students are calling for the quashing of the committee.

Article 31. Challenging elections

The validity of the election of an Executive Officer may
within two months after the coming into force of this
presented.
Assembly nominated by the General Assembly shall,
(2) The Judicial Board shall without prejudice to any
Constitution, make rules for the practice and procedure

a provision in this Constitution, decide on the
purposes as provided for in this article.
the petition has been received by the Chairperson

(4) The Electoral Commission shall by Constitutional
Instrument make regulations to give

within forty-eight hours after the declaration of the
results; which rules shall be precedent for such
effect to articles 29 and 30 of this Constitution,
provided that such regulations shall not be consistent
result
with any provision of this Constitution.
It is for this reason why the four elected representatives, His Excellency Prince Asumadu, His Excellency Wisdom Ndukwe, Honourable Stephanie Naadu and Honourable Daniel Obeng Asamoah had petitioned the office of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor and copied the Vice-Chancellor's office.
Consequently, students anticipate nothing more than shoddy work by the said committee. As one of the campaign team members for Asumadu, Raman had told a colleague that there was no member from the Faculty of Law and Political Science Department on the committee as the matter borders on politics and law.

Below is the document showing the persons constituting the committee.

​_Press Release_ _*Educate Africa Institute; EAI*_ 10th October, 2022. *The NCA must take proactive measures because some media outlets continue to air unethical and unlawful programs on their shows. - S.K OFORI; EAI Political Analyst* The eleven-year-old boy's death in Kasoa, where his pals planned to sacrifice him for money rituals, was the catalyst for the national media commission's and national communication authority decision to sanitize the media community, which took place just one and a half years earlier. The NCA's decision to revoke the licenses of media outlets transmitting unethical programs was praised by many. It seems, however, that the NCA took such steps in response to the death of the eleven-year-old child who was murdered by his peers under the influence of a mallam. The media outlets whose licenses were eventually restored after negotiations with the national communications authority. After the NCA restoring the license of the affected media outlets, so...
