The Judicial Service Secretariat has said \u00a0that it has \u201cnot received any petitions\u201d directing the Chief Justice to begin investigations into the activities of the Commissioner for the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Lauretta Lamptey.<\/p>\n

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam Adoagyir, Frank. Annor Dompreh, in September\u00a0submitted a petition for the removal<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Madam Lauretta Lamptey after it was revealed that she had\u00a0spent about $180,000 on rent alone<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0within three years.<\/p>\n

A second petition was submitted by Pressure Group the Progressive Nationalist Forum (PNF), who also called for the impeachment of Madam Lamptey.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”29Tf4lsXmIaolEWeQs2r4DBANili5oks”]Lawyer for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) Abraham Amaliba on Saturday revealed that the President John Mahama had directed the Chief Justice<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, Georgina Theodora Woode to investigate the embattled CHRAJ boss and had forwarded the petitions to her office.<\/p>\n

However, the secretary at the judicial service, Alex Asante Acheampong, told Citi News<\/strong> that no petition had reached their desk by close of the day on Monday.<\/p>\n

The attorney for the NDC, Mr. Abraham Amaliba, in an interview had earlier confirmed to \u00a0Citi News<\/strong>\u00a0that the president had asked the petitions to be delivered to the chief justice but following the comments by the judicial secretariat he has revealed that they would first have to “go through the flagstaff house processes.”<\/p>\n

The Nsawan Adoagyir MP, however, speaking on Eyewitness News <\/strong>on\u00a0<\/strong>Monday\u00a0described the delay as “tortuous bureacracy,” adding that the situation was unacceptable.<\/p>\n

“We waited for the president for three weeks and we heard that the petition had been sent. Now we hear contradictory statements all because of bureaucratic processes. It is not good enough. The petition is moving from the presidency, the highest office in the land, to the CJ and we are saying that this has been subjected to torturous bureaucratic process? “It is worrying,” he said.<\/p>\n
