Ex-Law School Director confesses using admission as ‘bribe’ to acquire Kumasi Law Campus building

Embattled former Director of the Ghana Law School, Maxwell Opoku-Agyemang has openly admitted he indeed illegally admitted 10 students into the law school, but has also explained that those admissions came with some benefits — not to him as a person — but to the Law School.

In what looks like a “bribe” or “inducement” to someone at an influential level inside Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology whose name he didn’t mention in his written statement, the former Law School Director said a student was offered admission and as a result of that “concessionary admission”, he revealed that “a whole building was released at KNUST which [currently] serves as the Kumasi Campus of the Law School”. 

Mr. Opoku-Agyemang also revealed that he did not benefit directly in anyway from any of the “illegal” admissions which have since been reversed by an order of the General Legal Council. 

“Indeed, it should be made known that one offer of admission paved the way for the release of an entire building at KNUST which serves as the Kumasi Campus of the Law School. This enabled the school to increase the intake in Kumasi from 50 to over 200, as well as securing places for a library, staff common room, administration facility and a canteen for the students,” he wrote in a statement.

Mr. Opoku-Agyemang admitted that he was indeed investigated by the GLC in July 2021 by a three-member committee which found the illegal admissions and ordered it reversed. 

To add more perspective, the embattled Director said the 10 students offered this concessionary admissions are not [children of] ordinary Ghanaians but rather of key stakeholders who have made valuable contributions to the Law School and Ghana.

He wrote: “In addition to the 1,045 students, the school offered concessionary admission to 10 students upon request from key stakeholders who have contributed immensely to the school and the nation as a whole. This brought the total admission to 1,055, compared to the 450 admitted in 2018/2019 and the 128 students admitted in 2017/2018 academic year. Admittedly, the offer of the 10 concessionary admissions was made without the approval of the General Legal Council but was not done in secrecy.” 

 Mr. Opoku-Agyemang is nominee to the Appeals Court of Ghana.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
