Aspects of the University of Ghana Law, which was passed by Parliament during its last meeting, have been referred to the leadership of the House for study and report by the Speaker, Mrs Joyce Bamford-Addo.
The referral followed a submission made by the Member of Parliament for Sekondi, Papa Owusu-Ankomah, on the floor of Parliament during its sitting on Friday.
He complained that even though the Section 'A' of the Law, which deals with the appointment of the Chairperson of the Council of the University, empowered members of the council to elect their own chairman, that aspect had been changed.
Papa Owusu-Ankomah explained that instead of the members of the council electing their own chairperson, the Law now says that the chairperson should be appointed under Article 70 of the Constitution.
Under that Article, the President is to appoint the chairperson of the council in consultation with the Council of State.
In referring the matter to leadership, the Sneaker urged them to go through documentation during the deliberations on the bill to ascertain what was actually agreed upon.
The Bill had already been assented by the president.
