Former Acting Director of the Ghana School of Law, Maxwell Opoku Agyemang says he is yet to officially receive notice of his nomination to the Court of Appeal.

He is currently under consideration for appointment to the Court of Appeal, but the process is currently being challenged at the Supreme Court.

In a statement, he admitted that some 10 students who gained admission into the School of Law did not have the approval of the General Legal Council, but insisted the action resulted in some gains for the school.

A private citizen, Korsi Senyo had petitioned the General Legal Council to disbar Mr Opoku Agyemang from practicing as a lawyer in Ghana for his role in the illegal admission.

A report by a committee of inquiry set up by the General Legal Council found Maxwell Opoku Agyemang illegally admitted 10 students into the Law School leading to his withdrawal from the school.

But in a statement, the former Acting Director of the Ghana School of Law explained that although the admissions did not have the approval of the Council, they were not done in secrecy or for any personal gain.

According to him, one offer of admission led to the release of a building at KNUST which serves as the Kumasi campus of the Ghana School of Law.

He adds the 10 students were withdrawn on the basis of an investigative report on the matter.

Mr Agyemang insists that although the Council set up a disciplinary committee to hear the case against him and two others, the committee is yet to begin hearings.

On his nomination to the Court of Appeal, he explained that "for the records, I have not been officially notified or contacted about a nomination for appointment to the Court of Appeal."
