The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) on August 24 give its ruling in its investigations of allegations against Dr Richard Anane, Transportation Minister.

Dr Anane was investigated by the Commission on three allegations of corruption; conflict of interest; and abuse of office. The investigation stemmed from adverse newspaper publications about the Minister, coupled with a petition to the Appointments Committee of Parliament against his re-appointment for a Ministerial position. After its preliminary investigations into the allegations, CHRAJ, without any formal complaint, constituted an investigative panel to get to the bottom of the matter.

Throughout the investigations, which started in January, a total of 10 witnesses gave evidence before the three-member panel, chaired by Ms Bossman.

The two other panel members are Mr Richard Quayson, Deputy Commissioner for Anti-Corruption and Public Education, and Mrs Abena Bonsu, Director in charge of Legal and Investigations.
