The Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has expressed concern over the refusal of Ghanaians to report incidents of corruption.
This, the Commission noted, had been reinforced by the general perception that even when cases were reported, nothing would be done about it, coupled with the fear of being victimized.
Mr. Theophelus Tetteh Tuwor, Central Regional Director of CHRAJ shared these sentiments in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) and stressed the need for civil society organizations and the private sector to help change the speech.
“When you are reporting on human rights and administrative justice issues, you need an identifiable complainant, but for the fight against corruption, you only give us one lead. Unfortunately, this is where business does not come ”, he lamented.
“Normally people have this perception that when they report nothing will happen or they will be victims,” Tuwor noted while lamenting that many Ghanaians remain indifferent.
Mr Tuwor therefore assured that people should not worry about being victimized because they were protected by the whistleblower law.
Regarding cases, the regional office of the CHRAJ did not record any anti-corruption case for the year 2020, against one case the previous year.
Mr Tuwor said his team would continue to embark on a series of public education to make the Commission more visible and engage institutions on the need to help fight corruption in the country.
