Scandal@Legon: VC's sons poor grades marked up

Kwadwo Tabiri Asenso Okyere, the son of the vice-chancellor of the University of Ghana, Prof. Kwadwo Asenso Okyere, who is at the centre of the university's examination leakages, also got his poor grades substituted with better ones.
According to the report of the Committee of Enquiry, established to look into the examination scandal, Kwado Tabiri Asenso-Okyere, popularly called KT, allegedly got Prof Kwasi Agyemang, Head of the Department (HOD) of Philosophy to allegedly fix grades for him, even in a paper he did not sit.
KT, who is reported to be known at the Philosophy Department as the "son" of the HOD, got his "F" grade substituted with "B" in PHIL 204, after two attempts, and also got "A" - in PHIL 306, a paper he did not write at all.
The committee was puzzled about the revelation of grade substitution, deepening the suspicion about a number of grades bandied about by students. Prof. Agyeman who is also the board chairman of the national service secretariat, admitted that he facilitated the fixing of KT's grades.
He however indicated he was misled by the staff who told him a different story.
The attention of the committee was drawn to the rot at the Philosophy Department by Prince Charles Walker, one of the brains behind the leakages when he appeared before it that with a paltry ?100,000, one can smile home with a better grade.
According to Prince Walker, he has learnt "about another person in the department of Philosophy who is able to charge grades for as low as ?100,000. A senior lecturer in the department, Dr. Helen Lauer also hinted the committee about the irregularities at the department, where lecturers allow all manner of people to collate examination marks.
According to Dr. Lauer, her colleagues in the department believe that collating of examination marks can be done by even a gardener, citing a situation where Kingsley Arthur, a messenger, was seen, several times, transferring marks for scripts to mark sheets. However, when Prof Agyemang was asked, he claimed it was news to him. Prof. Agyeman later conceded to the pervasive rot and irregularities in the department.
