NIA should not abuse the intelligence of Ghanaians. They should back off the proposed exercise. Elsewhere, parliament will be summoning the NIA boss to answer questions on the floor. But what do we see in Ghana? Hands off until there is a problem and MPs get on their soap boxes. Not too late to act.

Our problems and partisanship started with Nkrumah who divided this country into patriots and traitors. Patriots were those who accepted that he should be president for life, practice communist dictatorship and one party state, and unleashed an anti-Western propaganda using our small country's meager resources to challenge well established centuries old Western countries. They accepted that he could declare himself a prophet and savior of the Blackman yet, tyrannizing his own Black people at home because they have alternative views for the development their country.

Those who have alternative views were called nation wreckers, spies, and agents of imperialism and CIA agents that should be liquidated and imprisoned dead or alive. Could you believe that the opposition members he was tyrannizing at home were the very people who started the struggle for our independence? They employed him and paid for his ticket to come and work as a General Secretary of the group, saving him from the tyranny of unemployment in London. The freedom fighting vanguards were senior civil servants and employees of the state and the struggle was gaining momentum. They therefore needed someone who would work full time; free from official work constrains to propagate the group's message of independence to all the people regularly.

Under their guardianship, Nkrumah used the platform and became the public face of the group. His popularity soared when some people perceived him as the one, or the only one that was fighting for our independence. So when he heard from the lady Secretary of the Governor General, who was later on sacked and became Nkrumah's own secretary after the independence, that Britain was preparing to give us independence, Nkrumah increasingly used militant and unorthodox tactics to annoy the Whiteman and embarrass the group he was representing. He then used the opportunity to break away from the group and formed his own party to slap them from behind in order to take power.

This explains Nkrumah's hatred for the group and did not want them to ever get power in Ghana while he was alive. Maybe, he was afraid of his own ghost. His ardent supporters in Ghana today would like us to believe that Nkrumah initiated and single handedly fought for our independence, and as such, they name every project after him as if we were in a kingdom.

He should be concern about the scandals and looting by Mahama administration if his moral compass is to help Ghana...CHRAJ is not his personal property to be crying about if someone else is in charge. He better get a life and get it in his little head that he is no longer in charge at CHRAJ. If he has a personal grudge against Ms Lamptey lets hear it...If Short is qualified he can find another job elsewhere to contribute to Ghana. Leave the woman alone. She does not set hotel prices in Ghana. Ask the corrupt administration why hotel prices in third world Ghana are among the highest in the world...

It does not even interest you to know what CHRAJ is for. You are only attacking E.Short, who also contributed with his actions at CHRAJ to make it such a respectable institution that we are all proud of.
If his successor is bringing that institution into the gutters, should he just shut-up because the whole NDC and our Leadership is worse?

Ms Lamptey has no moral right to rebuke anyone caught abusing their office in this country.
Ghana will be blessed if people like you grasp this

Mr Short is an old bitter and envious man. Was he not the one who had to use the tax payer's money to acquire an expensive land at airport residential area to put up a residence for the commission? Were there no flats or government bungalows at other areas in Accra? He should never talk of morals or ethics here cos he had to leave his wife to run after Hon. Shirley Ayorkor Botwey, a far far younger person than him. The boss of CHRAJ has not committed any act of corruption but is only guilty of indiscretion.

Emile Short is definitely on a path of vendetta against Lamptey. What is his beef with the woman if not for fear of his own past deeds at Chraj. A lawyer pronouncing guilt before trial? Sorry.

If Ms. Lamptey is disappointed in the Chief Justice, she should have gone further to explain the disappointment.

Was she expecting the Chief Justice to say otherwise. We must get things straight.

The constitutional case the C.J. allowed Atugubah and the other eight Justices of the Supreme Court to adjudicate, has tarnished the image and reputation of the COURT as well as JUDGES IN GNERAL

I believe she is leaving no stone unturned to RESTORE the tarnished image as well as all judges.

I was expecting some details about her disappointment for Ghanaians to see eye to eye with Ms. Lamptey.

I whole heartedly believe that the Chief Justice is right in finding a prima facie case against her.

Ms. Lamptey must come out with a proper defence.

A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience. Seeing God she asked, "Is my time up?" God said, "No you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live."
Upon hearing this, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face lift, liposuction and a tummy tuck. She even had someone change her hair color. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.
She was released from the hospital but while crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by a car.
Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 43 years?! Why didn't you pull me out of the path of that car?"
God replied, "I didn't recognize you."

The first Commissioner of CHRAJ, Emile Francis Short, said: “It is unfortunate this matter has reached this stage.”

The image of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has been “dented severely”, an ex-commissioner is lamenting.
Short said he is “really disappointed” because “one would have hoped that it would not come to this stage.”

Asked what he would have done if he were in the shoes of the embattled CHRAJ boss, Short, who was a judge with the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda at Arusha in Tanzania stated: “A word to the wise is enough.”

There's no evidence to link Ms. Lamptey to any crime. The woman is innocent and I wonder why some Ghanaians will do their utmost best just to tanish a fellow reputation. Bill Cosby is accused by several women lately in his upper seventy without any proof yet. The same is being done to the female boss of CHRAJ without proof of criminality.
Ms. Short, DO YOU WANT THE POSITION AGAIN? Please for God's sake, leave
this woman alone to do her work. In her appointment's letter, she was to have free accomodation. Is she requesting more than that? I rest my case.
