�You don�t have the right to do that�you have to come for parliamentary approval before doing it�� says Mrs Ursula Ekuful. The Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West was reacting to a decision by management of the University of Ghana to charge road tolls on all vehicles that ply the roads within the University. She said on �Kokrokoo� programme Thursday that the University is a public institution; hence nothing can be done without approval from Parliament. According to her before there will even be a parliamentary debate and approval, the issue would have to be discussed with the Ministry of Education as well as the Finance Ministry and then forwarded to Parliament. �Under the Fees and Charges Act 2009, you don�t have the power to impose charges on anything without parliamentary approval. The University is a public institution and not private�it was established by an act of parliament. Don�t start with an illegality,� she advised.
