Knust SRC Has A Lot To Do – Frank Owusu Speaks On Conti Katanga Clash And The Way Forward
According to Frank Owusu, the incident that happened at the SRC vetting indicates that the SRC has a lot of work to do. There must be some amendment in the SRC. But some issues on campus can’t wait, which is essential to the students that is the inability of some students to pay for their fees and being sacked out of exams hall.
Also, hikes in the hostel prices can’t wait.
The security off-campus is very low hence the lives of the students are at stake. All these problems students are facing need to be attended to at a faster pace since it adds up to the student’s lives.
A FRANK OWUSU FULL STATEMENT
What happened on the vetting day, the clash between some students , is a testament that our SRC has a lot of job to do.
I have stated severally, that it may not matter our hall of affiliations . That what matters is that we all swore allegiance to the golden Eagle of KNUST . That, we have a common mission of ensuring our SRC responds to the needs of students.
I ask that Fellows will charge in Unity and invest the energies into ensuring the growing needs of the ordinary student are responded to.
And of course, our SRC elections can wait . There are so many issues that are affecting students that need solution that require nothing less than emergency .
Yes, the SRC elections can wait !
But, what can’t wait is the solution to the injustice meted out to the students who were sacked from the exams hall during their midsem because they owed fees.
What can’t wait is the solution to students who have no idea when or how they will raise the money for their fees.
What can’t wait is the solution to the hikes in hostel prices .
What can’t wait is solution to off-campus security.
Of course, the elections can wait. But we cannot sit and watch when students are denied access to exam centres because they owed fees .
• We cannot sit and watch when our students are attacked during exams period.
• We cannot sit and watch when students need urgent medical help but yet help comes from nowhere.
The SRC elections can wait . But then again, the SRC is you and I. The SRC is for us and by us. It will take you and to make it work.
Impossible is nothing
