Following an alleged scandal against the SRC procurement officer of the Koforidua Technical University (KTU), Noble Godwin Elorm Ahiaku by an anonymous concerned level 300 student, I therefore write to critically seek clarification on the subject matter on the basis of fairness on the part of the SRC executives, and the entire student populace.
I personally think KTU students deserve better than the current standard at which things are done by students, authorities and sometimes student leadership, as allegations raised against people do not only tarnish their image but the school as well, this substandard in our system requires attention and correction as we move forward.
To begin with, I challenge the writer to provide a proof of the deal that the procurement officer is a statutory of as evidence for us to believe that there’s no conflict of interest.
Also, the facts sheet did not give much information about the said company (VENMARK CO.LTD.) that is involved in the tendering process. To be fair to the entire student populace, it should be made known, the identity of the company by disclosing either their location and website and appropriate documents to show that it is a registered company. (Reference item #1 on the Facts Sheet)
Again, (Reference item #2 on the Facts Sheet) mentioned names of some SRC executives who were responsible for halting the “Shady deal”. We therefore call on the aforementioned names to be bold to speak on the matter because we believe the committee might involve some of the names mentioned in the procurement process and they are in the best position to let the cat out of the cupboard.
Furthermore, “He who alleges owns the mandate to proof”, hence we need details of the suppliers so that the concerned student body can verify the dialogue that ordered them to price the souvenirs in the interest of Mr Godwin Elorm Ahiaku. We only had a gist that falsehood has been peddled against the SRC President but didn’t give a detailed account of the falsified story. We want to know what he has been saying about the President. (Reference item #3 and #4 on the Facts Sheet)
Finally, “The SRC procurement officer is a wolf in sheep skin that is pretending to be working but rather stealing to enrich his greedy self”, such statement is very unprofessional and censure. You don’t pronounce someone guilt of an offense if you don’t have evidence to prove. We therefore call on the SRC President His Excellency Sarfo Obed Kantanka to break the afternoon silence since he is the mouthpiece of the student body.
