The sacked Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Mr Adjenim Boateng Adjei, has sued the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) over an 'unfair treatment' meted out to him in the ‘Contract for Sale’ investigations conducted by the institution.
Mr Adjei,in the suit filed at the Accra High Court on November 27, accused CHRAJ of breaching the principle of natural justice by keeping certain key information from him and his lawyers.
He said he was kept in the dark over witnesses whose testimonies CHRAJ relied on to make the judgment.
Mr Adjei said that his lawyers were not given the chance to cross-examine the witnesses and also he was not made to answer certain findings made by the commission in its work.
He argued that “by denying me the opportunity to access, respond and cross-examine statements, witnesses and evidence that the respondents relied on to arrive at their decision, the [CHRAJ] acted in breach of natural justice and failed to give me a fair hearing. If given the chance to access, respond and cross-examine the various documents, witnesses and evidence relied on by [CHRAJ] in their report, I would,” he added.
Mr Adjei is thus urging the High Court to quash CHRAJ’s report and expunge it from the records.
He is also asking the court to revoke the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s directive asking him to vacate his post, which was premised on a request by CHRAJ.
