As a presidential staffer, do the work first before you complain about an institution. You have collapsed the country, made it lawless and you are complaining. Ask mahama, if legon is a state unto itself.

this govt is soaked in corruption and has compromised our future with their shady deals with the Chinese . you talk of humble beginnings only to support those who destroy any chances we have at a better future for our children . you pass laws on GMO that will eventually have a devastating effect on our agriculture just because of a few pieces of silver bribes or what you now term as lobbying . you ndc have no heart or conscience just look at what your police are doing to the small enterprises and the weaker in our society . we here of heart wrenching stories of police so power drunk that they arrest drivers carrying goods and hold them in custody for enough days so the produce be it fish or other perishables get spoilt as they want bribes. small capital of a few thousand cedis goes up in smoke because of this callous selfish corrupt attitude and we say our economy is collapsing but dont realise the backbone of our economy are these very same small businesses be it selling roasted plantain on the street corner or traders in the market . you drive around in you air conditioned cars with police escorts so you dont get stuck in traffic but do nothing to implement solutions that will make it easier for the common man . you spend all your time scheming and conspiring so the people because of your propaganda are perpetually confused and remain ignorant . yes we call for a revolution to clear this oligarchy and if we have our way before then end of this year Ghana will burn so out of the fire the pure gold of our nation will come out . your govt is cursed and will never do anything good for our people as you will remain blind to what is visible to all righteous souls and never know the right way forward even if its presented to you . your legacy will be only one of deepened tribalism , corruption ,treason and betrayal of the national interest assisted by your Chinese criminals . all institutions of state are a disappointment and failure as they are so corrupt they no longer serve their purpose . if we do not stop you the tribalism and anti Akan agenda will become institutionalized .your govt has not created a single sustainable business rather collapsed many industries we inherited from Nkrumah and before.under the guise of minority rights you would rather promote sodomy instead of legalizing marijuana as you are more attracted to perversion and gutter morals than doing the right thing . ndc where is your integrity and common sense ?

University of Ghana authorities have descended into lawlessness because the current government is weak and incompetent. The statement issued by the university and the reasons contained therein for this stupidity are laughable and cannot be justified. They are so hollow that it beggars belief and a disgrace to the university leadership because it betrayed their reasoning and analytical capabilities.

First, they claimed it's for security reasons. The question the university authorities should answer is, what security problems would have been solved had they been allowed to implement their first choice policy of tool booth and daily charges for the university road users? Again, they claimed it's about reducing traffic and noise. What traffic and noise would have been reduced if the tool booth and daily charges had been allowed?

Then, they claimed to improve the atmosphere for academic work and the same question as above applies. None of the reasons they gave is reasonable if one considers their earlier decision to introduce a daily fee for university road users.

The university leadership are either stupid or arrogant and do know what they are talking about.

I studied at a university that is in the busy city centre of London (London School of Economics and Political Science at Houghton Street, London WC2A 2EA). No one complains of traffic noise or pedestrian noise disturbing academic work. Most of London universities have buildings surrounded by very busy roads.

The same applies to Cambridge University with some academic buildings and departments in the city with very busy roads and heavy pedestrians and tourists tourists. In fact, in the case of Cambridge, the land that the roads are on, often belongs to the university. It's their private property, yet they do not stop the public from using the very busy roads.

University of Ghana's claim of the roads being private property is laughable because it's state owned but held in trust by the university. That is not the case in Cambridge. The land belongs to them as private property.

Ghana has become lawless and University of Ghana has become part of the problem but the government is clueless as to how to respond because it's sacred of the university authorities. Instead of the university using its resources and including human capital to finding solutions in Ghana, they are actually contributing to problems of the state. Perhaps, and unfortunately this is becoming political.

That is what happens when weak and incompetent people are in-charge. Listen to what a presidential adviser is saying. Clueless and incompetency at its highest level.

Kofi,
Apart from the incompetence and cluelessness of the current government, the University of Ghana may have a point. When I was at UST in the early 1970s, tro tro vehicles were not allowed on campus. If one took a taxi from Kumasi or Ayigya Junction to campus, the taxi driver had to surrender his driving licence at the security gate. His boot was thoroughly isearched before he left for campus and on his way back, before his licence was handed back to him.

I also did a stint at Legon in the late 1970s and I believe there were restrictions back then as well. Is it really fair for tthe university to take loans to build roads meant for light usage, to be used by heavy trucks, buses, tro tros, who often misuse the pavements and all?

The situation in the UK is completely different. I also studied in one of the older universities in the UK where public traffic passed the edges of campus. However, the more recent "campus-based" universities like Warwick, Reading and Edinburgh, etc do not have thoroughfares for all and sundry and of course, the drivers in the UK are a lot more disciplined and obey simple road traffic regulations.

The University of Ghana itself was very clumsy about this whole matter, but didn't a whole deputy minster ask communities to repair roads and charge tolls? It really shows the type of people we are saddled with as "leaders!"

The objective of the UG dons has never been about traffic control or safety per se! These guys are ticked off because the govt has prevented them from making key decisions on infrasrtuctural expenditure in this country. The initial decision may have been "clumsy" but these subsequent moves amount to an open challenge to the authority of the only govt in this country! What if other cash-strapped stated-owned institutions decided to copy this poorly-conceived scheme? The make`em up excuses as they go along has put these Legon authorities,who view themselves as 'untouchables',in a very bad light,and we should all admit that!

Is crazy,but I beg to differ! And I find it strange that this fmr. Prof. at Legon is posing such a silly rhetorical question to invite our condemnation. I believe he still remains an adviser at the Prtesidency,and ought to be addressing his obvious frustrations t the appropriate quarters! This 'nonsense' is gradually turning into a very 'bad joke',and the sooner those entrusted with political power,rise up to their responsibilities,the better off the entire nation will be!
Nobody voted for Col. Gbevlo Lartey,so it should not be his lot to 'carry' everybody by being the 'bad' guy!
And did I hear Paa Kwesi Nduom talking absolute trash about this country`s constitution being fashioned along the lines of a "military dictatorship"? May be he can help address Kpessah Whyte`s question.

The government should called Aryeetey to his sense before it´s too late! It is as though there is no laws in this country. What is he talking about? Is this man the first man to hold such position in the history of the University? He should be given the sack immediately! From look of things, this man is just thinking of making money. Why contract a loan for road constructions,whiles more important issues to addressing the academic work of the University, are not taken into account? Wouldn´t that loan been properly channeled into accomodations and other issues affecting the university? This man should be sacked immediately! He has become a law of himself. Ghanaians should not allow this man to continue with such bush behaviour in our premier University!

It appears there are two fools here vying for power. Several years ago Legon was an ideal academic institution near Accra. The poor villagers around did not even have bicycles. Today, thanks mainly to corruption, all the areas around Legon have become buzzying cities with Legon bearing the brunt because the campus no more enjoys the peace it had for many years. Imagine taxi and tro tro drivers screaming Madina, Achimota while lectures are going on. The solution is for the administrators of Legon to sit down with the stupid government and find a solution - provide alternative routes. To wake up one morning and close the roads is equally senseless. Shouldn't one party know any better? How can two institutions be that foolish at the same time?

University of Ghana is a public space and not your backyard. You cannot therefore set rules to inconvenience the public; the tax payers who pay your over-bloated salary.

Did the university consult the govt before going for the loan to refurbish the campus roads? I feel the campus roads are the responsibility of the state (state institution). If the university wants to take the initiative, they must fund it from research work and other fund raising means not a loan.

Anyhow, ghs400 per year works down to ghs1 per day. Any serious minded person who wants to help the university to develop indipendent of government subvention must support this effort.

Mr.Whyte is a disgrace to the government. Such a pronouncement defames the government because I saw the road Minister (government) on tv supporting the effort.
