Stop being a paparazzi and fight for students interest - Ben Brittle jabs SRC President

A recent graduate of the University of Health of Allied Sciences (UHAS), Ben Brittle has thrown shades at the current President of the Students Representative Council (SRC) of the same institution, Hon. Asare Derrick describing him as a tourist whose interest is in taking pictures with senior members of the University council rather than carrying students' grievances to them at council meetings.

The outspoken alumnus said in a statement, "It's only in UHAS that the SRC President goes to council meeting and takes picture with the Registrar, post it on Facebook and answers no when asked if his people have a problem under the meeting. "Help us Lord", he added.

Mr. Brittle told Campus Radio Ghana of the numerous challenges students of UHAS are facing, some of which are pertinent. He mentioned that academic year fees have skyrocketed with outrageous charges for internet bundles amongst other items on the bill.

He expressed shock when all that the student leader could do about the issues was to post pictures of himself with the Registrar on social media.

The current administration is a few months young since they took over from the Afrane-led administration.
During their tenure, they piloted a Vodafone data plan which was largely successful except for the delay in implementing it. The new administration promised to expand the policy by raising the data bundle from 1.5 Gigabytes to 2.5 Gigabytes.

Students were awoken to the shock of their lives when they realized that they will have to pay GHC 144.00 for the Vodafone sim cards which was originally intended to be free.

He finally hinted that he has a lot of inside information about the SRC that he will unfold in the coming days. What does Mr. Brittle have on the Asare-led SRC that needs quite a while to release? Campus Radio like always would follow this issue and report events as they unfold. Stay tuned.
