Speaker of 16th Republic Student Union

One can recall that the Union Legislative earlier this Second academic semester allegedly voted overwhelmingly to impeach and intermission the Union Director Transport and Welfare over what it best described as embezzlement and gross misconduct which saw the coming into play of the Union Judiciary defined as the last hope of resort.

The union judiciary after series of deliberation ruled in favor of the SUG Director of Transport and Welfare and as such remained the substantive Directors of their office.

The speaker of the student Union has kicked against the judgment, his reaction reads in full;

“Throughout the gamut of the SUG constitution, nowhere is it stated that the court has the power to divest an arm of the SUG government from exercising its constitutionally guaranteed powers and functions”. 

“The court cannot stop the legislature from exercising its constitutional duty of checkmating the excesses of the Executive, the same way it cannot stop it from making laws for the good of the Union”.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM IMSU REGISTRAR TO THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY

 

“The court judgment is only valid to the extent that it declared the process adopted in suspending and impeaching the affected directors irregular and nothing more”.

“Any judgment which purports to oust the constitutional duties, powers and functions of the legislative arm of government is a mockery in itself”.
