Mr Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Member of Parliament (MP) for the Efutu Constituency, has said it is our responsibility to ensure that the right things are done at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW).
He said as the MP for the area he cannot sit unconcerned and watch things go bad at the institution.
Mr Afenyo-Markin said this when he interacted with students from the Political Science Department of UEW who visited Parliament House.
The students were on an educational tour of Parliament and other state institutions in Accra.
Some of the students also asked the MP what he is doing to ensure a conducive learning environment in the school.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Education Winneba (UEW) Prof Mawutor Avoke and five other senior officials have been asked to step aside as investigations into alleged malfeasance continues.
The Vice-Chancellor and the Finance Officer are also a subject of three investigations - Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and the university's fact-finding committee.
They have been accused of "malfeasance in various procurement procedures and contract awards".
The Vice-Chancellor and Finance Officer had already been ordered by the Winneba High Court last July to hand over to the Pro-Vice-Chancellor until a case brought before it is determined.
This was after a private citizen, Supi Kofi Kwayera, asked the court to declare the University’s Governing Council illegal because its tenure expired in November 2013.
Mr Afenyo-Markin said the current litigation at the institution is as a result of constitutional issues regarding certain appointments at the University.
He said news of alleged misappropriation of public funds with respect to the award of contracts cannot be swept under the carpet.
He said the UEW as a centre of academic excellence and as MP for the area his interest is to ensure that the correct things are done for the benefit of all in the society.

BOMBSHELL. Is it true Hon Afenyo markins is gay ?
Mr Markins, stay off UEW else you will bite more than you can chew. UEW is bigger than your ego and parochial interests. we are fully aware of your clandestine schemes and tactics and how you go about bribing journalists and judges. Your relentless war against UEW will not succeed. BE WARNED.
This action of asking VC, FO and 4 others to step aside over missing files and documents is an afterthought but unfortunately it’s not well thought through. It’s clear to all well meaning people that this is an attempt to pre-judge the case at the Supreme Court. How can you accuse people who have not stepped into their office since July 14th 2017, of missing files? The VC and FO have been asked by the Winneba High Court to step aside since 14th July 2017 and they have since not come close to any University offices. No files are missing. It's ignorance of the procurement process that is worrying the Council Chairman and the Ag VC. The Public Procurement Authority (PPA) and the Central Tender Review Board (CTRB) have copies of all documents of the all procurements in question because of the methods used and the amounts involved. Did the VC, FO and the 4 others go to the offices of PPA and CTRB at "Dead Night," to steal the copies there too? If the Council Chairman knows the hour or time that the files were taken (Dead Night), it means he knows those who took them or he saw them taking the files. What did he ask those who took the files? All UEW offices especially the Administration Blocks are guarded by 24 hour Security-men and a strong control system over the movement of Office keys. The main entrance of the main administration block has CCTV system. How can these six officers take files at Dead Night without being noticed? Do we have any key movement records that show that these officers took keys at odd times? How sure are we that these six officers have not already completed the files stealing agenda and that asking them to step aside will not yield any results? Why can’t we list the so called missing files and hold the officers who are responsible for the proper custody of those files accountable? For every file in the University, there is somebody who is officially responsible for its proper custody. Why not hold those specific individuals responsible. GOD IS WATCHING YOU AFENYO , STOP LYING TO GHANAINS.
