The current fights in the UGSRC appointment are unwarranted and of no merit as
p,olitical God-Fathers in TESCON tzurn to backbite one another and lobby for the
positions for their young boys. It has been made known that an immediate past
TESCON President and once SRC President are at loggerheads as to who gets what.
The Vice president of the UGSRC is seen more often than the UGSRC President on
Campus. Students argued that the Vice President deferred his course twice to
become the SRC president and had been a resident student of Vandal and Viking.
It is rather unfortunate that the SRC could not plead with management to tamper
justice with mercy or rescind their decision on CommonWealth and Mensah Sarbah
brouhaha with management. The President is a Medical student and does not have
ample time to steer affairs and his college they believe is far distant from the
center of administration. The major concern raised by students is how appointing
students to serve on various committees has been delayed. Some sections of
students leaderships have hinted the differences in getting their favourite
candidates appointed. Others also attest to the fact that those who played
active: roles in the Boakye-Lincoln campaign Team had been marginalized and
others rank reduced or not up to the expected position. The students noticed the
appointment of the PRO & Deputies, Chief of Staff and Deputy and Scholarship
Committee Head & Deputies. The rest remains history.
The newly elected speaker of the University of Ghana General Assembly and also former SRC Vice Presidential Aspirant, Ahmad Ramzy has given a sound of caution to the President of the Students' Representative Council, Martin Gyasi Boakye, and his Vice President, Emmanuel Boakye Lincoln to consider the Constitution of the Council in the selection and appointment of its executives for the 65th Administration. He cited that there is a provision in the constitution that enjoins the General Assembly to appoint or approve the entire membership of committees and not just heads of committees. The communique signed speaker conveys that G.A. is entitled to appoint and approve the heads and members of the audit board. He warns them against old aged legacy appointments made by the executives of those special appointments within the purview of the G.A His motives are to ensure transparency, and also value for money within the SRC.
