Government institutions in Central Tongu schooled on Administrative justice

Adidome (VR), Feb 1, GNA – The Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) in the Central Tongu District of the Volta region has started educating government institutions in the district on the intricacies of Human Rights and Administrative Justice.

The Departmental Heads of the various Governmental institutions in the district were advised to make the right decisions and keep to the laws of the country when dealing with their subordinates.

Mr. Carlos Quaye, the Central Tongu District Director of CHRAJ explained at the meeting that administrative Justice ensured timely disposition and re-dressed citizen’s grievances, arising from real or perceived acts of unfair treatment of any person.

He called on all heads of departments not to be selfish in making decisions pertaining to their subordinates and promised their doors were opened for any assistance or complaints.

“Make sure you are not egoistic when dealing with your subordinates and always adhere to the law in any decision that you will take,” he said.

Mr Quaye said CHRAJ had an investigative team which conducted investigations into complaints brought before the Commission for fair redress, adding that, “the commission investigates complaints of mal-administration in the public service and also acts and practices discriminatory and oppressive, and also investigate abuse of the exercise of discretionary powers”.

The heads of departments lauded CHRAJ for the exposure given them and promised to adhere to the accepted process in dealing with their colleagues at work.
