A former University of Ghana Students Representative Council (SRC) President, Daniel Otting, has been tipped to win the Ghana Law School SRC Presidential Race.His support is coming from diverse students’ groups, who believe in his vision.The Law School will be electing its SRC executives today.
This decisionby Daniel Otting, according to most of the students, must not be taken lightly by any principled or patriotic mind, especially as to who leads the next Law School SRC body.
Barima Sarpong, a student at the Ghana Law School, told The Chronicle that all the three candidates vying for the position of SRC president are his good friends, “but it is not enough to have good intentions when it comes to carrying out a mandate like they are about to bestow.
“In my corporate and political endeavours, when the heat of the test is on, without experience and character, the verdict is uncontested, that the good intentions will surely melt to nothing. It must always be backed by character and experience. Experience, our elders say, is a good teacher.”
Admittedly, the three candidates have had some life experiences in many areas, however, Daniel Otting Awuah, having been elected SRC President of the University of Ghana in the 2017/2018 academic year stands out as the most experienced in what the three seek to be (SRC President).
“In the GSL SRC presidential election, where there is a higher stake within a shorter tenure, ‘trial and error’ SHOULD NOT be elected over ‘tried and tested’ leadership. Why not Otting?”
He said the student body is fortunate to have Otting, who is honest, humble, respectful and responsible.
He stated that: “In the crucial moments and situations of sensitive decisions and rival interests, it is the character and experience of the elected that come to aid the best interest of the electorates. Otting offers the value of both CHARACTER and EXPERIENCE. Why not Otting?
Otting’s honesty will come into play at the decision table where all eyes or no eyes will be on him. Why not Otting? His humility as always will drive him to listen and reason with you as the people who are the source of his power as president.”
