The Wa Polytechnic Governing Council has ordered the institution’s suspended Rector, Professor Emmanuel Marfo-Owusu, to park his five hundred thousand Ghana Cedis Mercedes Benz, that is at the centre of protests by lecturers of the school.
Last Monday, some angry lecturers at the Wa Polytechnic prevented Prof. Emmanuel Marfo-Owusu prevented from accessing the campus and subsequently his office.
Among other things, the lecturers have alleged that the embattled rector procured the vehicle for himself without approval from the Governing Council.
Speaking to Citi News, the Chairman of the Wa Polytechnic Governing Council, Daniel Bagah Debagah, said the independent committee set up to investigate the allegations would start its work soon.
“The Mercedes Benz is at the centre of the allegations leveled against him. We have asked that an independent committee goes into the allegations. So once the Mercedes Benz is in the centre of it, we are saying that he should pack it and be using whatever car he was using before then.”
He said: “…we are expecting to get a report from the committee in the next two weeks.”
