Joy News has learnt that the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has picked up the Head of Treasury at the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) for questioning.

Sonny Eric Adinyira is on secondment at CHRAJ from the Controller and Accountant General’s Department.

It is unclear if the BNI’s action to pick him up has anything to do with the recent accommodation scandal involving the commissioner, Lauretta Lamptey.

Sources tell Joy News the BNI is also looking into alleged pension’s fraud in which the CHRAJ Treasury is alleged to be involved. 

Commissioner, Ms Lauretta Lamptey, has come under the spotlight following allegations she spent $148,500 in 33 months for her rent at the African Union (AU) Village from November, 2011 to August 9, 2014 when she moved out.

She later checked into a hotel where she paid $456.25 per night as renovation works on her official accommodation continued to delay. The face-lift which is costing the state GH¢182,000 has taken two years to complete.

A parliamentary subcommittee is said to be probing this but facing frustrations because she has allegedly refused to honour their invitations.
