The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank
Annoh Dompreh has served notice that he will drag the Commissioner of the
Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) before
Parliament. Lauretta Vivian Lamptey has been accused of
spending thousands of dollars over a period of three years on a
rented apartment at the AU Village and also ordering the renovation and
redesign of her official residence. Annoh Dompreh, who is a presiding member of
Parliament’s Special Budget Committee, says the use of $180,000 on rent for the
CHRAJ boss is unacceptable. He told Citi News, it is
imperative for Ms Lamptey to be probed by Parliament. He explained that Parliament’s
Special Budget Committee has an oversight responsibility on the activities
of CHRAJ therefore, it is their duty to investigate the matter to allay the
fears of Ghanaians. According to the MP, Ms Lamptey has on several occasions
been invited to appear before the committee because they already have some
reservations about her in terms of her attitude. Annoh Dompreh pointed out that
the amount spent on the CHRAJ boss’ accommodation is taxpayers money which was
taken from the consolidated fund. He therefore implored the chairman of the
committee to call a meeting immediately .
