Court to rule on UEW case on July 10

The Winneba High Court  has fixed 10 July, 2017  to rule on a motion for interlocutory injunction on the Governing Council of the University of Education, Winneba.

Defence Counsel for the school, Peter Zwennes is praying the court to dismiss the application filed by Supi Kofi Kwayera of Winneba against the Governing Council of the University for overstaying their tenure.

Mr Zwennes and Mr Fredrick Sampson Gurah who represented the University of Education prayed the court to dismiss the motion since the plaintiff has no capacity to meddle in the school’s affairs.

Mr Zwennes also filed a motion on behalf of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), Winneba branch of the University to join the suit.

The Defence Counsel challenged the jurisdiction of High Court to hear the case bordering on the fundamental human right of the 1992 Constitution.

Supi Kwayera had filed a suit under Act 23, 41(1) and 296 of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana praying the court to place an injunction on University Governing Council from executing their duties.

He is also praying the court to enforce Section 8 of ACT 678, section 38 and 39 of ACT 663.

The plaintiff was represented by Mr Alexander Kwamina and Afenyo Markin who is Member of Parliament for Effutu Constituency.
