The Member of Parliament (MP) for\u00a0Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank\u00a0Annoh-Dompreh has described as shameful, the Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) boss’ announcement that she has finally moved into her official residence after months of lodging at a hotel.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid we have to put pressure on her to move? It\u2019s shameful that she should even be bold enough to declare that she moved after the second publication of the Daily Graphic,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”T5VeMIWAjcZSfzZ3qBkzmIZyQnwqnxU5″]Lauretta Vivian Lamptey on Friday told Citi News<\/strong>, she had moved out of the hotel<\/strong><\/span><\/a> she was lodging with her family into her official residence.<\/p>\n This announcement came after the Daily Graphic reported that the CHRAJ boss was still lodging at the hotel<\/strong><\/span><\/a> three months after news of her rent expenditure which caused public outrage.<\/p>\n Reacting to Ms Lamptey\u2019s announcement, Annoh-Dompreh, who was the first petitioner demanding her impeachment stressed that it is \u201cdetestable for her to announce and it\u2019s not something that we should be proud of that upon persistent pressure, she decided begrudgingly to move to an official residence. It is not good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n The second petitioner in the case; the Progressive Nationalist Forum (PNF) is demanding that Ms Lamptey must be made to pay the extra cost she incurred while lodging at the hotel.<\/p>\n The group questioned why she still lodged at the hotel when renovation works on her official residence was completed.<\/p>\n The Convener of the PNF, Richard Nyamah told Citi News<\/strong>, he has credible information suggesting that the official residence had been completed over a month ago.<\/p>\n \u201cHer house had been ready for over a month now so why has it taken her an extra month to move in?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n Nyamah remarked that it is mind \u201cboggling but beyond that, she\u2019s cost us GHC 161,000 and I am told that the monies have actually been paid from the Ministry of Finances account.\u201d<\/p>\n According to him, the nation in its current financial crisis cannot afford to settle the hotel bills from the public coffers \u201cso I would ask the Minister of Finance to at least offset it with the period that the house was ready for her to move but continued to stay in the hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo at least, for the last one month, the money should be deducted and then she will pay it. Already, we\u2019ve spent huge sums of money on her already,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
