CHRAJ boss suspended from office

President John Dramani Mahama has on the advice of the Judicial Council and pursuant to Article 146 (10) (b) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, suspended from office, Commissioner for the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice, CHRAJ, Madam Lauretta Lamptey.

Chief of Staff, Prosper Bani, in a statement said, the suspension follows the establishment of a prima facie case against Ms. Lamptey by the Chief Justice, and the setting up of a five-member committee to investigate complaints made against her.

Speaking to Radio Ghana, MP for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annor Dompreh, explained that the new development shows Ghana's credentials as a democratic country and its commitment to the fight against corruption.

He said due process has to be followed before establishing a prima facie case against the CHRAJ boss.
