The Coalition for Democratic Forces (CDF) has with immediate effect, withdrawn a request for the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), to investigate NDC General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketiah. The Coalition which wrote to CHRAJ in March to investigate Mr. Asiedu Nketiah for conflict of interest in his dealings with the Bui Power Authority (BPA), has in a statement said it is withdrawing the request in order to protest against what it termed “President Mills’ unwillingness to deal with corruption, hypocrisy, insult, deception and lies that is being institutionalized in his government”. Below is the full text of the statement: PRESS RELEASE 28th July, 2011 The Commissioner Commission on Human Right and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) Dear Madam, Withdrawal of request to investigate Mr. Asiedu Nketiah-Protest against gov’t With reference to the request sent to your high office as contained in a letter dated 4th March, 2011 and titled, ‘Request to investigate Mr. Asiedu Nketia on Conflict of Interest’, I wish to inform you of our decision to withdraw the request made.
