A pressure group calling itself Generational Youth Movement (GYM) is accusing the NDC government of interfering with investigations into allegations of corruption and a possible breach of the constitution involving the renovation of the house of mother of Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings that is before the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).
GYM had pleaded with CHRAJ to investigate who did the renovations on the said house since three deputy ministers had told newsmen in separate interviews that it was government that undertook the said project. The group also sought to find out through CHRAJ which government institution made the payment and how much the cost was, since Mr. Herbert Mensah, a friend of the Rawlingses also claimed he made some payments on the same renovation project.
�Thirdly, we also petitioned CHRAJ, to explain to us and Ghanaians if it was constitutional for government to use state resources to renovate a private residence.�
But in a statement signed by Spokesperson for the group, Nana Kwabena Agyeman, GYM said they are baffled by four reported �resignations� that have hit CHRAJ in a relatively short time including that of Mr. Kwaku Oteng, investigator of the said case and one Mr. Arhin who was also working on the same matter.
The GYM believes that Government is deliberately frustrating the work of CHRAJ in order to deter them from making public the facts of this issue since the matter seems to implicate government and the ministers involved in a very awful manner, and has therefore decided to take the matter to the SUPREME COURT for Justice to be done.
