The period of 2016-2020 saw the migration of 10 Polytechnics within the Republic of Ghana into Technical Universities. The Universities were birthed through the Technical Universities Act, 2016 (Act 922) and Technical Universities (Amendment) Act, 2018 (Act 974). The Transitional Provisions of Act 922 under section 42(6) provide that persons in the employment of a polytechnic in existence immediately before the coming into force of this Act, shall be deemed to have been duly employed by the respective Technical University… The paper takes a cursory look at the state of advertisements and appointments of some officers within the Technical University system which appears contrary to the transitional provisions. It is observed that appointments of some officers are being carried out which appears a breach of the law and total disregard for the dictates of the governing statutes or rather ignorance of the law. The paper recommends that GTECH, Governing Council, Administrators, and managers of Technical Universities, must respect the supremacy of the law regulating their affairs and submit to its dictates in its operations. This would be the only way to avoid a mountain of legal tussles before the courts and the frustration of academic and institutional progress within the Technical University System.
