President Akufo-Addo has appointed Mercy Larbi as the Deputy Commissioner at the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).

Madam Mercy Larbi until recently was the Ashanti Regional Director of the Commission.

CHRAJ exists to protect fundamental human rights and to ensure good governance for every person in Ghana.

The Commission was given a broad mandate to achieve this mission by the 1992 Constitution of Ghana and by its enabling Act, Act 456, in 1993.

It is to investigate complaints of violations of fundamental rights and freedoms, injustice, corruption, abuse of power and unfair treatment of any person by a public officer in the exercise of his official duties;

Also, it investigates complaints concerning the functioning of the Public Services Commission, the administrative organs of the State, the offices of the Regional co-ordinating Council and the District Assembly, the Armed Forces, the Police Service and the Prisons Service in so far as the complaints relate to the failure to achieve a balanced structuring of those services or equal access by all to the recruitment of those services or fair administration in relation to those services.

 Additionally, CHRAJ investigates complaints concerning practices and actions by persons, private enterprises and other institutions where those complaints allege violations of fundamental rights and freedoms under this Constitution.

To take appropriate action to call for the remedying, correction and reversal of instances specified in paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of this clause through such means as are fair, proper and effective measures including-

negotiating a compromise between the parties concerned;
causing the complaint and the finding on it to be reported to the superior of an offending person;
bringing proceedings in a competent Court for a remedy to secure the termination of the offending action or conduct or the abandonment or alteration of the offending procedures; and
bringing proceedings to restrain the regulation by challenging its validity if the offending action or conduct is sought to be justified by subordinate legislation or regulation which is unreasonable or otherwise ultra vires;
to investigate all instances of alleged or suspected corruption and the misappropriation of public monies by officials and to take appropriate steps, including reports to the Attorney-General and the Auditor-General, resulting from such investigations
to educate the public as to human rights and freedoms by such means as the Commissioner may decide, including publications, lectures and symposia; and
to report annually to Parliament on the performance of its functions.
