The Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has expressed concern about the unwillingness of Ghanaians to report incidents of corruption.
This, the Commission noted, has been reinforced by the widespread perception that even when cases are reported, nothing will be done about them, along with the fear of being victimized.
These sentiments were shared by Mr. Theophelus Tetteh Tuwor, Central Regional Director of CHRAJ in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) and highlighted the need for Civil Society Organizations and the private sector to help change the narrative.
“When reporting on human rights and administrative justice issues, you need an identifiable whistleblower, but for the fight against corruption, you only give us one clue. Unfortunately, that is where the cases do not arrive, ”he lamented.
“Normally, people have the perception that when they report, nothing will happen or they will be victims,” said Mr. Tuwor while lamenting that many Ghanaians remained indifferent.
Mr. Tuwor, therefore, assured that people should not worry about being victims because they are protected by the act of the whistleblower.
In the cases, the CHRAJ regional office did not record any anti-corruption cases for 2020 compared to one case in the previous year.
Tuwor said his team will continue to embark on a series of public education to make the Commission more visible and engage institutions in the need to help fight corruption in the country.
