It is with deep sense of pride and duty that we immeasurably commend Messrs Richard Kwesi Nyamah of Progressive Nationalist Front and Frank Annor Dompreh MP, for their relentless and bold efforts in pursuing the Lauretta Vivian Lamptey case to the hilt. We equally reserve tons of praise for her Ladyship, Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Woode, for her characteristic response to an actionable petition instituted against the aforesaid Commissioner for CHRAJ, by patriot Nyamah.

Indeed, at a time that our dear country is reeling under the weight of economic albatross, owing to senseless waste, white thievery and large-scale economic mismanagement, the behaviour of Ms. Lauretta Vivian Lamptey, the Commissioner for Human Rights and Administrative Justice must not be countenanced by any stretch. While we wish not to pre-empt the outcome of a yet-to-start independent investigation, one needs no canvass painting to adduce that, the image of our respected CHRAJ has been dealt a palpable blow due to matters arising in relatively recent times.

To allow for untrammelled investigation into this matter, which the majority of our country-folks perceive to be morally objectionable, repugnant to acceptable standards, and unbecoming of no other person than a Commissioner for CHRAJ, we call on Ms. Lamptey and all those who sanctioned her actions to do the honourable and the right thing: step down with immediate effect. This, we wholly believe, will save the now struggling and blemished stature of our revered Commission. Failure to do so would send the wrong signals to all right thinking Ghanaians; further undermining the very ethos on which this venerable institution was anchored.

We also, through this medium, wish to advice our First Gentleman to capitalise on this saga to invigorate his otherwise cosmetic and moribund war on corruption. Until we solemnly make it a national creed that, corruption or abuse of power, in any form or shape is tantamount to crimes against humanity; until we zealously demand accountability from our leaders without fear or favour, ill-will or affection, until we make bribery and profiteering unattractive in our daily scheme of affairs, Iam afraid, our noble quest for freedom from want and human dignity shall never materialise. As a nation, born and destined to be prosperous, shinning and great; the time to rid our society of the paroxysm of executive abuse, blatant corruption at all levels, and untold moral decay is Now. LONG LIVE GHANA, LONG LIVE NPP, LONG LIVE OUR COLLECTIVE DREAMS!!!
