Dr. Richard Anane’ conduct in this particular instance smells like a pointless apocalypse and points towards a senseless destruction of the sanctity of doing serious government business. It probably represents the zenith of conflict of interest in public office.
It has emerged from Dr. Richard Anane’s own e-mails that whilst as minister of health, he ?took time’ to persuade the then Attorney General to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with his damsel. He did not however, disclose to the A-G that he was sexually involved with Alexandra who was then doing a project with the Ministry of Health, of which Dr. Anane was the Sector Minister.
Meanwhile the Commission For Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has indicted that it is investigating allegations of conflict of interest levelled against Dr. Richard Anane in sections of the media. CHRAJ has indicated that powers to investigate such allegations are drawn from the 1992 Constitution.
