The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) seems to continuously make strides in injecting technology into various parts of the school’s day to day activities.
This is because the Students Representative Council (SRC) of KNUST has developed an application for the long awaited SRC constitution.
Last year, the Dean of Student, Dr. Kofi Owusu-Darko announced the system of paperless communication and it seems to have gone down well with student leaders in the school which has accounted for the SRC’s initiative.
The new app will therefore see the old SRC constitution (book) being scraped off to make way for the newly developed digital one.
With the advent of smart phones era, students will be able to access the SRC constitution on their phones after they install the new SRC App on their phones for free.
Over the weekend, a student body calling itself the Alliance for Accountable Leadership, AFAL, issued a press statement revealing that the Student Representative Council since 2010/11 academic year charged student from all levels 2 Ghana Cedis.
The money was meant to provide the newly updated SRC constitution to students but since 2010 no students have received it.
The Students think-tank as they call themselves accused the SRC of mischievous act of exploiting the student and therefore called on the leadership to accounts for the money.
However, the acting Public Relations Officer, Owura Kuffuour, debunked the allegations and dissociated itself from the accusations heaped against the SRC.
He says it outfit is liaising with the Dean of Student to call to book former SRC administrations who charged the money.
But the President of SRC, Caleb Fugah, says their administration is due to bring to the student an application it has built with the 2 Ghana Cedis it charged students last academic year.
He also claims the SRC excluded the continuing students from paying the 2 Cedis apparently because they had been subjected to paying the money by previous administrations.
They were speaking on leadership corner on FOCUS FM last Sunday.
