Kumasi High Court dismisses suit against KNUST VC’s tenure extension
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Kumasi High Court has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the tenure extension of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Rita Akosua Dickson.

Clement Kofi Ohene Asare filed the application to prevent the second term appointment of Prof. Mrs. Rita Akosua Dickson, which commences on August 1, 2024.

The judge, Justice Frederick Tetteh described the application as lacking merit and further questioned the status of the plaintiff who had indicated in his application to be an alumnus of the university. But Mr. Ohene Asare failed to convince the court of being an alumnus of the university.

During proceedings at the Kumasi High Court, counsel for the plaintiff argued that the reappointment of the Vice Chancellor was “procedurally wrong” per the statutes of the university in extending the tenure of office.

According to the plaintiff’s counsel, the procedure for the appointment wherein a seven-member Search Committee is constituted to propose an ideal candidate for consideration and the advertisement of the vacancy of the Vice Chancellor position for the application of other viable candidates, were not duly followed.

But this was met with fierce opposition from the counsel for the defendants Thaddeus Sory – the University and the Vice Chancellor – insisting that they complied with the reappointment statutes.

Shortly after the court dismissed the injunction application, the plaintiff filed a stay of execution and appeal against the defendants.

But a standoff erupted at the premises of the court as the bailiff was about serving the university lawyers.

The lawyers argued that they needed to be served officially at the university and not the court premises.

The court awarded a cost of 9,000 Ghana cedis against the applicant.

Speaking on behalf of KNUST, the University Relations Officer, Dr. Daniel Noris Bekoe welcomed the court’s decision and urged the aggrieved parties to resolve the issue amicably and not resort to legal actions.

Meanwhile, a staff of the university has filed another suit on a similar account to injunct the reappointment of the Vice Chancellor.
