The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has served notice it will appeal against a High Court ruling that quashed its report against the former Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), A.B. Adjei.
An Accra High Court last week concluded that CHRAJ violated the fair hearing rule by substituting portions of the original complaint filed by the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) with its own allegations.
The court said CHRAJ failed to afford the applicant, A.B. Adjei, the opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses called during the investigation before reaching their conclusions.
But CHRAJ says it will appeal the court’s decision.
Addressing journalists, Commissioner of CHRAJ, Joseph Whitall said “I’m waiting for the written judgment, in order to study it, and take the necessary action, I have not had the judgment itself, our lawyers are waiting for the judgment on the basis of when we study the judgment, the possibility of appealing in the court of appeal is very high.”
