Ghana Human Rights Chief Sacked Over Hotel Bills


Lauretta Lamptey

Ghana's president has sacked Lauretta Lamptey, the head of the Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), after she was found to have improperly spent thousands of dollars on hotel accommodation. A petition by two private citizens led to President John Mahama instructing the chief justice to set up a committee to investigate.

It recommended her removal for abuse of office.
