President John Dramani Mahama has confirmed Joseph Whittal as the new Commissioner for the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).
Mr. Whittal was sworn-in at a short ceremony at the Flagstaff House Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Whittal has been acting as the head for the human rights body since the former commissioner, Lauretta Vivian Lamptey was removed for causing financial loss to the state.
The President has also appointed Ms. Josephine Nkrumah as the substantive head of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE).
Ms. Nkrumah who was a deputy chairman for the commission replaces Mrs. Charlotte Osei, who was appointed the head of the country’s Electoral Commission by the President in July last year.
The appointments come a few weeks after the President lost the presidential election to opposition NPP leader Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The president-elect will be sworn-in January 7, 2017.

This is very unfortunate,to say the least. Why now? Mahama's intentions are obvious. So shameful of a man who calls himself a gentleman and a man of integrity.
why now????? what's all these last minute appointments. if these people appointed are of substance, they would delayed their acceptance until the new president is sworn in. such appointments must be reviewed critically in next year. Mahama can't plant his people at sensitive positions before his departure. Never!!!
Why now? Because Mahama is corrupt. He is appointing people who will cover his corrupt deeds.
I think this is one of the best appointments the President has made so far, both appointees are qualified and have been in their various positions for sometime as deputies, and it is only fair for them to be allowed to head this important institutions. wish them well in their new roles.
