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

(3) The Chairperson of the Appeals Board, Chairperson of
for petitions to the Judicial Board challenging the
a provision in this Constitution, decide on the
purposes as provided for in this article.

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

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.

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...

JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA HAD RETORTED

   President John Dramani Mahama had made a proclamation on his intention to be a party agent at his polling station in the forthcoming 2024 general elections, which comes after his recent pronouncement. 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...
