Prez. Mahama sacks CHRAJ Commissioner

President John Dramani Mahama has removed Madam Lauretta Vivian Lamptey from office as Commissioner for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).

The President’s action was based on the recommendations of a Committee set up by the Chief Justice to investigate allegations of corruption and mismanagement against Madam Lamptey.

Madam Lamptey was accused of spending about 200,000 dollars on rent at the AU Village and about 180, 000 cedis on the renovation of her official residence.

The Chief Justice, Madam Georgina Wood, set up the committee following a petition submitted by Richard Nyamah of the NPP and Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyir Anoh Dompreh; demanding that Madam Lamptey be removed from office.

The Committee after its findings concluded that the former CHRAJ boss was unfit to hold the position of Commissioner for Human Rights and Administrative Justice.

President Mahama on Thursday following the recommendation and in accordance with Article 146(9), removed Madam Lauretta Vivian Lamptey from office as CHRAJ Boss.

According to sources, an official statement will be released later.
