Accra, June 1 (The Enquirer) — The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has began independent investigations into what they call media allegations of corruption and conflict of interest’ against, Roads Transport Minister Dr. Richard Anane.
The Enquirer can report that the Acting Commissioner, Anna Bossman, has already written to the Minister, asking him to first respond to certain specific allegations which borders on corruption and conflict of interest.
Similarly, the Acting Commissioner last week wrote to the Editor-In-Chief of The Enquirer, Raymond Archer, informing him that the commission will be calling on him to appear as a witness in the probe and for his cooperation. Already, Mr Archer has met with the Acting Commissioner and the commission’s Chief Investigator Mr Ayamdoo, for a briefing on what would be expected of him and the Commission’s procedure.
Mr Archer expressed his willingness to cooperate with the investigations, but expressed his disappointment at how certain public institutions have handled issues of important national concern. The Enquirer’s Editor-In-Chief also asked questions which bordered on whether the investigations were sparked by a petition or another state institution.
Anna Bossman responded that the Commission is carrying out the investigations in line with its mandate. She assured Mr Archer that the probe will be handled in a very fair and professional manner.
