Emile Short, former boss of CHRAJ, will chair the commission
Security expert calls for public hearing of Ayawaso West Wuogon inquiry hearings.
Adam Bonaa thinks that a live TV audience of the session will allow others to learn testimonials.
"Instead of conducting a private investigation, I prefer a public hearing so that everyone can see and hear what happened," he said.
The CEO of Security Warehouse Limited thinks it will send a strong message to those who want to do justice to themselves to see the consequences of their actions and "as well as to the politicians who use them. [thugs] will see everything that their actions could lead. "
Addressing Mamavi Aboagye of Joy News on Thursday, he commended the government for setting up a commission composed of men and women of distinction who distinguished themselves in their respective fields.
The government on Wednesday set up a three-member commission to investigate the violence that stained last Thursday's by-election in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency in Accra.
Francis Emile Short, former Commissioner of the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), chairs the Commission. It is also composed of Law Professor Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu and former Inspector General of Police Patrick Kwarteng Acheampong.
Ernest Kofi Abotsi, a private lawyer and former dean of the GIMPA Law School, has also been appointed Secretary of the Commission.
According to Bonaa, police investigations can take place in parallel with the work of the commission.
"Last night I spoke with police officers to understand their point of view and I was reliably informed that they were not going to cancel their investigations into the incident.
"They will continue with the criminal aspect of this investigation that I thought was good … they should go ahead, so if they find the people responsible, they can bring them to court. ", did he declare.
Mr. Bonaa said the commission would expand its scope because they are made up of independent minded people who owe no allegiance to the president.
"It is important that they do it because they do not need to satisfy the wishes of the president or the leaders … Let's see also what the police will reveal," he said. he declared with hope.
