President Mills swears in new CHRAJ boss

President John Evans Atta Mills on Tuesday swore-in Ms. Laureta Vivian Lamptey as the new Commissioner for the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).

Ms Lamptey, a lawyer and investment banker, takes over from Ms Anna Bossman, Acting Commissioner of CHRAJ who resigned recently.

She becomes the second substantive Commissioner for CHRAJ after Mr Justice Emil Short, who resigned in December last year. Mr Justice Short was appointed in 1993 after the coming into effect of the 1992 Constitution.

Ms Lamptey holds L.L.B. and B.L. degrees from the University of Ghana and the Ghana Law School respectively, and an L.L.M. in International Business Law from the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) of the University of London.
