PRESS RELEASE FROM C-POLY ALUMNI

Samuel Kwame Ansah (Prof) President

This is the first time the Cape Coast Polytechnic Alumni Association is coming out on the issues in the media that are in fact destroying the image of the Polytechnic. 

This has become necessary because this is not the first time such issues aimed at wounding the integrity of the very respectable individuals in the Polytechnic have come up.  It is therefore about time that group or groups behind these uncivilised acts are condemned so that they desist from such deviant behaviours.

This time around it is a two-member group calling itself Concerned Staff of Cape Coast Polytechnic and another group calling itself the Concerned Patriots of Cape Coast.  Since the two groups are all talking about the same issue at the same time, we have a good reason to believe that it is one group with different names or one is a shadow of the other.

We know that there are laid down channels for grievance resolution.  So we are entreating the concerned staff to resort to that instead of what they are doing.  If they do not believe in the systems prescribed by the statutes of this Polytechnic, then they must leave our school to wherever they want.  After all, nobody is begging them to be in the school.  Moreover, Cape Coast Polytechnic can be with or without them. The Polytechnic is a higher institution of learning and as such issues ought to be dealt with in a civilized manner to serve as example to other lower institutions.

We also like to encourage parents who are worried about the safety of their wards in this institution that, all is well in the Polytechnic.  So they should allow their wards to come to school.

Finally, we will like the management of the Polytechnic to also come out and condemn such uncivilized acts of the members of staff. Otherwise it will paint a picture as if they are part of this act.  Again, we would like to see a disciplinary action taken against such people who disregard the provisions of the statutes so that it will serve as a deterrent to those who want to destroy our school and leave us in shame.

We also like to use this opportunity to congratulate the new executives-elect of our Alumni Association. It is our hope that they will work extra harder to redeem the image our Polytechnic.

Long live Cape Coast Polytechnic, Long live Ghana.
