The Ghana School of Law’s administration has formed a committee to investigate allegations of financial misconduct within the school’s Student Representative Council (SRC).
This comes after multiple claims of conflict of interest, impropriety, and financial mismanagement were brought against Wonder Victor Kutor, the SRC President.
In a press release dated April 12, 2022, management declared that it will investigate the matter thoroughly since it does not condone such behavior.
Mrs. Victoria Barth, Head of Faculty and Lecturer, Advocacy and Legal Ethics Ghana School of Law, Mr. Moses Ansah-Barnor Ankrah Esq, Deputy Director of Finance (Budget) Judicial Service of Ghana, and Mrs. Justice Anthony Aduhene-Benieh (C/Supt RTD) make up the committee.
These members are responsible for conducting extensive investigations into the substantive matter and everything related to the SRC and submitting findings and recommendations to management for execution.
Students, on the other hand, have been requested to assist with any information that is critical to the investigations.
“Students with relevant information and evidence concerning the matters under reference are encouraged to submit the same in writing to the Deputy Registrar. Electronic copies of the hard documents can be submitted to the email depregistar@gslaw.edu.gh not later than 25th April 2022.”
Background
The school’s SRC President has been accused, among other things, of purchasing a car for the SRC from his company and another for his own use under dubious circumstances.
Mr. Wonder Victor Kutor is also accused of operating an SRC-owned Mobile Money business under his company name and transferring profits to his own use.
The SRC Executive Council questioned the president, but they were not persuaded by his replies, so they formed a committee to look into the matter.
On April 17, 2022, he was interdicted, which he considers unconstitutional.
“Management has indicated that they are investigating the matter. The matter is also before the SRC Supreme Court. I was elected by the students of the Ghana School of Law, so how can the Secretary say that they have interdicted the President, which is the highest position of the SRC. It is unconstitutional. It is ridiculous that at the Ghana School of Law, where we studied law, all these trivialities are going on. The constitution is clear on the process of removing the President from office, it is done by the [SRC] Supreme Court.”
So far, he has refuted the claims made against him.
