UG SUSPENSION CAN INFLUENCE COURT JUDGEMENT-LAWYER

A constitutional Lawyer, Osei Kwadwo says the disciplinary punishment minted out to the six university students for allegedly molesting Amina Haruna they claimed to be a thief at the University of Ghana can influence court judgment.
He argued that the university’s action prejudices the court judgment, stating that the school should have assisted in investigations rather than immediately issuing punishments.
He however stated he does not expect the court to be influence by the University’s decision.
Lawyer Osei Kwadwo added that the University decision to punish the six students is lawful which should be tolerated.
But he emphasized that it has a tendency to influence the court decision on the case.

KOFI WAYO SAYS ECG MUST GIVE OUT PREPAID METERS FREE

A Board Member of the Energy Commission, Kofi Wayo says the Electricity Company of Ghana must give out prepaid meters for free.
He stress that the ECG does not have the right to charge people for pre-paid meters because they have been heavily subsidized by government.
Mr. Wayo therefore urged the public to resist the sale of prepaid meters.
He says the Commission will soon meet with the ECG to deliberate on the issue.

The Member of Parliament for Jirapa in the Upper West region, Dr Francis Bawaana Dakura appealed to the ECG to allow the prepaid meters to go for sale on the market so that people have easy access to them instead of going to ECG offices.
Dr. Francis Bawaana Dakura who is also a member on the Energy Commission explains that the ECG has monopolised the sale of the prepaid meters which makes it easier for them to exploit the people.

End.
