It has been established that the Auditor-General queried the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) in 2012 \u00a0for circumventing the procurement law in the award of contract for the renovation of the official residence of the Commissioner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The Auditor-General\u2019s report, a copy of which the Daily Graphic has, stated that CHRAJ had breached the provisions of the Public Procurement Act (PPA), 2003 (Act 663) in the procurement of accommodation for its commissioner.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe recommend that management should be circumspect and adhere to the dictates of the PPA in such future transactions to avoid waste and for programme objectives to be achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”3LOC1u8eU9SM8YqtXpKX4cSrurAX22v8″]According to the report, CHRAJ has also failed to refund GH\u00a289,551.79 to government chest, which resulted from overstatement made in request for funds for the payment of emoluments and had consequently charged the management of CHRAJ, led by Ms Lauretta Lamptey, to refund the money without delay.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also recommend to management to ensure that henceforth, accurate data is submitted for the release of funds to prevent a recurrence, otherwise the responsible officers would be held liable for a refund of the excess funding,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n
