General News of Thursday, 25 October 2018Source: classfmonline.comKNUST saga: Otumfuo's intervention 'belated' – Ex-GIMPA RectorProfessor John Bright Ahetor, Former Deputy Rector of GIMPAA former Deputy Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Professor John Bright Ahetor, has said the intervention of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in the impasse between the students and the authorities of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is “belated”. The demonstration was in protest to a directive that there will no longer be vigils and gatherings to sing ‘jama’ songs. Before Monday’s protest, 10 students and one alumnus were arrested on Friday and later released. This, coupled with the manhandling of some of the students by the school’s private security got the students infuriated, leading to the protest march. The retired professor of Law and Financial Accounting, however, expressed concern about how the vandalism has tarnished the image of KNUST.
