It awarded GHc 8,000 in damages against the University.<\/p>\n<p>But Dr. Ofori Bekoe speaking to 3FM News on Friday, was surprised the judge would come to such a conclusion without averting the mind to a pending case at the Supreme Court challenging the suspension of the two and four others by the University.<\/p>\n<p>He wondered what would be the effect of the high court\u2019s decision, should the superior court decide in favour of UTAG-UEW who took the matter up.<\/p>\n<p>In its judgment on Thursday, the court also ordered the retrieval of all monies paid to the contractors that worked on the North Campus roads and a forensic audit of the project.<\/p>\n<p>This decision by the High Court in Winneba is \u201claughable\u201d, Dr. Samuel Ofori Bekoe asserted. According to him, the award of the contract predates the tenure of the Vice Chancellor Prof. Avoke.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, he is at a loss how the North Campus roads is related to the substantive case of the VC serving under a defunct council.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the roads in question started during the administration of the former Vice Chancellor Prof. Akwasi Asabere-Ameyaw.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 43 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Friday, 15 December 2017 Source: 3news.com 2017-12-15 University of Education, Winneba A judgment by the High Court in Winneba, which found the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Education (UEW), Professor Mawutor Avoke, and the school\u2019s Finance Officer, Dr. Theophilus Senyo Akorli, guilty of procurement and other financial irregularities has been ridiculed.
