UTAG Supports UCC Hospital to Procure PPEs

23 Apr, 2020 By louis Mensah

The University Teachers Association (UTAG), UCC Chapter, has presented a cheque for GH ¢10,000 to the University of Cape Coast Hospital to support the fight against COVID-19.

Presentation

Presenting the cheque, the President of UTAG-UCC, Dr. Samuel Bert Boadi-Kusi said the donation was to support the effort being made by the Hospital to contain the pandemic. He said the money was to assist the Hospital to purchase additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for staff. He noted that the Association was concerned about the health and safety of staff at the Hospital and therefore, saw the need to assist in that regard. “We have closely monitored situations at the Hospital since the pandemic was reported in the country and I must add that we are concerned about the staff members who are frontline workers,” he added.

In terms of the University’s preparedness, Dr. Boadi-Kusi called on the University Health Services to engage Management to come out with a policy to guide all staff in the discharge of their duties. “We have partially resumed from the break and staff members need to know the protocols to follow when going about their activities especially whilst engaging with clients” he noted. 

Response  

In his response, the Director of University Health Services, Dr. Evans Ekanem, thanked UTAG for the donation and indicated that the money would be used to procure additional PPEs. He said though, the Hospital had some PPEs, there was the need to get additional stocks considering the fact that they could not be recycled.

Dr. Ekanem noted that the fight against COVID-19 was a collective one and therefore, called on individuals, organisations to join forces to overcome the pandemic. He assured that Management together with the University Health Services had put in place some strategies to ensure that staff members were protected from COVID-19. “We will constantly sensitise the University community on protocols to observe in order to prevent them from being infected by the virus,” he explained. 

Present were the Vice-President of UTAG, Dr. Eunice Fay Amissah; Treasurer, Dr. Kojo Otchere; a member of UCC Council, Dr. Edem Bakah, a representative of College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences, Dr. Jerry Opoku-Ansah and a representative of the College of Distance Education Dr. Beatrice Asante Somuah.  

Also present were some staff of the Hospital including the Deputy Director, Dr. Patrick Akwasi Baah; Administrator, Mrs. Esther Rhoda Ababio and Nurse Manager, Mr. Thomas Tamag; Assitant Registrar, Mr. Abdulai Mohammed Najimudeen ; Assistant Registrar, Mr. Victorious Yamoah Hagan and Principal Administrative Assistant, Mr. Maxwell Asante.

 

 

Court Dismisses Contempt Application Against the Vice-Chancellor and Two Other Officers.

Cost of GH¢15,000 Awarded Against Mr. Henry Tackie. 


Cape Coast, April 8, 2020: The Cape Coast High Court, presided by his Lordship Justice Emmanuel Lodoh on 8th April, 2020 dismissed an application by Mr. Henry Tackie, Group Managing Director of Barony Construction Ltd. and Tacoa Construction Ltd. seeking to commit Professor Joseph Ghartey Ampiah (Vice-Chancellor, UCC), Mr. Philip Ntim Owusu (Director of Physical Development and Estate Management, UCC) and Solomon Faakye (Head of Legal, UCC) for contempt of Court. The Court, in addition, awarded cost of Fifteen Thousand Ghana Cedis (GHc15,000.00) against Applicant, Mr. Henry Tackie. 

The Judge acquitted and discharged the respondents of the contempt charge for lack of evidence.  

Mr. Henry Tackie filed an application through his Lawyer, Charles William Zwennes, Esq. of Gaisie Zwennes Hughes & Co. for contempt before the High Court, Cape Coast, alleging that the three (3) officers of UCC had seized property whilst a matter concerning the property was pending before the Court. 
     

Background


The two companies were awarded four (4) separate contracts by the University of Cape Coast with a total contract sum of about GH¢ 40million in 2014 and 2015. It was subsequently discovered that the companies through their Managing Director, Mr. Henry Tackie, presented fake bank guarantees to secure the Contracts. Consequently, the University Council rescinded the Contracts and brought action against the two companies for recovery of advance payment and fraudulent misrepresentation. A complaint of fraud was later lodged at the Cape Coast Regional Police Command against Mr. Henry Tackie. 


In November 2019, Mr. Henry Tackie caused to be published in the Chronicle and other media, series of articles including: “UCC Runs Amok – Ignores Arbitration Process and Breaks into Controversial School of Business Building”; “UCC Vice-Chancellor has disobeyed Court Order- Contractors”; “UCC VC Dodges Bailiff for Contempt Suit?”. Thereafter, Mr. Henry Tackie initiated the contempt application which has been dismissed.
