This is what I have been expecting from him for a long time now. If he had intervened earlier I\u2019m sure matters wouldn\u2019t have reached the level it has gotten to now. So I feel that if he does that help in bringing normalcy to the university.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said it is rather unfortunate that only two principal positions out of three appointed by the governing board have been asked to step aside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Now they have asked two of the three officers appointed by that authority to step aside and honour over to the third person who is was also appointed. That is where I\u2019m not comfortable because if three are appointed and we say they are not legally recognized then the three of them should go away not hand over to another person who was appointed by that authority. That is where the problem is and that is what UTAG is not happy about. Because if you say A and B should not be there why should C remain in office? That is where I expect the minister to come in,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Court orders UEW Vice Chancellor to step aside<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nortsu-Kotoe\u2018s remark comes on the back of a High Court order to the Vice Chancellor of UEW, Professor Mawutor Avokeh, to <span style=\"color: #666699;\"><a style=\"color: #666699;\" href=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/2017\/07\/14\/court-orders-uew-vice-chancellor-to-step-aside\/\"><strong>step aside<\/strong><\/a><\/span> until a case brought against him is determined.<\/p>\n<p>The court order also affected the school\u2019s Finance Officer.<\/p>\n<p>The court made the order in a case brought before it by one, <span style=\"color: #666699;\"><a style=\"color: #666699;\" href=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/2017\/05\/31\/uew-govt-sued-over-extension-of-governing-councils-tenure\/\"><strong>Supi Kofi Kwayera<\/strong><\/a><\/span> who insisted the Vice Chancellor and the Finance Officer were operating under the institution\u2019s defunct governing council.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Godwin Akweiteh Allotey\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minority in Parliament is demanding an immediate intervention by government in the current impasse that has rocked the University of Education, Winneba.
