The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has highlighted the issue of inadequate funding, which is impeding its ability to carry out its various responsibilities effectively.

This revelation was made during the launch of CHRAJ’s 30th-anniversary celebration, held under the theme “CHRAJ at 30: Promoting and Protecting Human Rights and Ensuring Transparency and Accountability in Public Service Delivery.”

Mr. Joseph Whittal, the Commissioner on Human Rights and Administrative Justice, expressed that his office, in collaboration with the Public Sector Reform for Results Project (PSRRP), has identified several challenges within the commission’s legal framework, policies, processes, and operations.

In order to address these challenges, they intend to prepare amendments to the Commission’s Act, Act 456, and its Constitutional Instrument C.I 67 for review and passage into law by Parliament.
