Effutu MP Alexander Afenyo Markin expressed concern over what he calls half-cooked solutions to the leadership crisis at the University of Education Winneba.

According to him, the decision to reinstate only three speakers goes against the agreement reached to bring back the dismissed workers following the stalemate.

Speaking to the media in Parliament, MP Effutu said the CV should be truly committed to peace and reconciliation at the university.

"The explicit opinion was that this category should be fully compensated for wrongful dismissal. The others were supposed to be reinstated and I pointed out that the three reinstated as a result of the announcement did not conform to the consensus we had all achieved. The argument was that these people were victimized. If you study each case, you will know that someone like Akwasi, for example, has been suspended for simply sending a WhatsApp message. "

The ETS was closed for nearly a month after the students staged a violent protest against Vice Chancellor Prof. Broni's behavior, which they described as authoritarian.

Professor Afful Broni dismissed staff and lecturers from the school; a move that angered some of the students.

The stalemate began with a legal battle that rocked the institution in recent years, resulting in the ouster of Professor Mawutor Avoke from his post as Vice Chancellor of the University.

Calls have already been made for the resignation of the current vice-chancellor, Professor Afful Broni.

The school is also expected to resume operations on April 8, 2019.

Our reinstatement is not enough – Avea Nsoh

Meanwhile, one of the school's reinstated people, Professor Avea Nsoh, wants the institution's board of governors to re-establish the situation of all other dismissed individuals as they begin the process of resolving the crisis in the country. school.

"I do not think it's holistic enough and it seems discriminatory. This does not mean that the board has not made any effort to reintegrate us. We really appreciate that, but we think that is not enough because some of our colleagues are still here. There are other requests, but the goodwill is to say that everyone comes back, and then we can leave, "he said in an interview with Citi News.
