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.

CONSTITUTION SHOULD NOT GIVE SPECIFIC ROLES TO FORMER PRESIDENTS-EXPERT
The Head of Graduate School of Leadership and Governance at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Dr Kwaku Osei Akom says it not necessary to give special constitutional roles to former Presidents.
He explains that former Presidents are statesmen which mean that they are ready to serve under any capacity for the development of the nation.
Dr Osei Akom stated that due to the partisan nature of Politician in the country it will be difficult to give specific roles in the constitution to former Presidents if another party wins power.
He added that the US democracy is different from the ‘dirty politics’ practiced in Ghana so if the US former presidents are given roles it will be difficult to practice it in Ghana.
Dr Kwaku Osei Akom says rather former Presidents should be given huge ex-gratia so that they can embark on any projects they may wish to perform.
He states that if the former Presidents are comfortable they will be able to contribute to the development of the nation.
