The Academic Board of the Ghana School of Law has denied a vote of no confidence claim against the school’s Director of Legal Education, Kwasi Prempeh-Eck.

The no vote of confidence was allegedly passed against Mr Prempeh-Eck by lecturers of the school following the mass failure of students in the bar exam as well as in the entrance exam for LLB students in the past couple of months.

In a statement dated Wednesday, 21 January 2020 and signed by the Secretary to the Academic Board, however, the school said its attention has been drawn to publications in the media to the effect that a vote of no confidence in the Director of Legal Education was passed at the Academic Board meeting held on Thursday, 16 January 2020.

“Members of the Academic Board deny the false information being circulated in the media and dissociate themselves from same.

“Indeed, the publications in the media are false, malicious, misleading, mischievous and in no way reflect the facts, deliberations, and decisions taken at the said meeting by members of the Academic Board. The general public and students of the Ghana School of Law are respectfully advised to ignore the said publications,” the statement added.
