Justice Short: CHRAJ will be impartial in M&J investigation
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, Oct 12, Ghanadot - The Commissioner for Human Rights and
administrative Justice, Justice Francis Emile Short has
disclosed that his outfit has written to the British High
Commission in Ghana for assistance in investigating the Mabey
and Johnson bribery scandal.
President John Mills has invited the Commission on Human Rights
and Administrative Justice to step into the fray.
The Health Minister, Dr George Sipa Yankey and a Minister of
State at the Presidency, Amadu Seidu have resigned. They
said the resignation was for the opportunity to clear their
names.
They were alleged to have taken various bribes from the M & J, a
UK Bridge Construction firm, between the 1980s and 1990s in
return for Government contracts.
Justice Emile Short in an interview on Citi FM, said he expects
the Attorney General and Minister of Justice to collaborate with
CHRAJ in unearthing the truth.
“It is my expectation that whatever information is in the hands
of the Attorney General would be handed over to CHRAJ which will
facilitate and expedite our investigations.”
Justice Short said the amount and type of information dug up
over the case will determine the mode of investigation.
“When we get the information that we require, it would enable us
determine whether there is the need to embark on field
investigation, in other words, going to the United Kingdom or
whether the information we receive is sufficient to enable us
initiate an effective investigation.”
He promised that the commission will assert its independence and
neutrality in the investigation of the Mabey and Johnson (M&J)
bribery scandal involving some top officials in Ghana.
CHRAJ boss dismissed concerns that CHRAJ might be influenced by
the Government, considering the fact that it was the President
who invited the commission to take over investigations into the
scandal.
