The Public Agenda says several people, whose cases of wrongful dismissals were upheld by the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), are still waiting to be re-instated, more than four years after the commission's decision.
The paper in its top story, says that CHRAJ after hearing a number of cases involving people who said they were wrongfully dismissed during the military rule of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) decided that they should be re- instated. According to the Public Agenda, the CHRAJ victors have become victims of a legal battle between the Attorney- General and the commission.
The Attorney-General is said to have challenged CHRAJ's authority to investigate cases that occurred before constitutional rule in 1993.
The paper says the Supreme Court presided over by Mr Justice Hayfron-Benjamin, on July 11 1998, dismissed the Attorney- General's writ, adding that more than a year after the ruling, nothing has changed for the many people waiting for justice.
