The Acting Commissioner for the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) Ms Anna Bossman has retired from her job.
She tendered in her letter of retirement to the President Tuesday.
Ms Bossman confirmed her retirement to Joy News' Sammy Darko.
The Commissioner of CHRAJ, Justice Emile Short retired voluntarily from the Commission last year leaving the human rights organisation in the hands of Ms Bossman.
In a statement signed by Secretary to the President on December 1, President JEA Mills appointed Ms. Anna Bossman, then "Deputy Commissioner of CHRAJ as Acting Commissioner with effect from 1st December, 2010”.
Ms Bossman had acted as Commissioner for years while Justice Short was on other engagements outside the country.
She told Joy News her decision to retire from CHRAJ was to enable her pursue other interests.
Ms Bossman said she would still be working towards advancing human rights and curbing corruption in the country.
She rejected suggestions she is being pushed out of the Commission; "Not at all. I have excellent relationships with everybody, I think I've really enjoyed the support and everything from the government. This is a choice that I've made myself; It's a decision that I've made myself, because I believe that this is the right time for me to move on and do other things."
Ms Bossman minced no words in stating she will miss her colleagues some of whom she has worked with for close to a decade.
Not only that, she will also be missing the institution itself "because this institution is a great institution and I really believe deeply in this institution so I will miss some of the things that we thought that we would be doing." But she takes consolation in the fact that all that will be compensated for "by the work that I will be doing as well."
