The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) will next year conduct corruption risk assessments for the Lands Commission and the Ministry of Roads and Highways.
In 2026, it will also launch the National Human Rights Action Plan, implement the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights, and investigate about 9,000 complaints.
Dr Cassiel Ato Forson announced this in Parliament on Thursday when he presented the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy of the Government on the theme: “Resetting for Growth, Jobs and Economic Transformation.”
Dr Forson said CHRAJ resolved 6,024 out of 6,547 human rights complaints and held 1,927 sensitisation programmes nationwide.
He said the Commission resolved 142 out of 205 administrative justice complaints and would continue promoting access to justice for migrants.
On anti-corruption efforts, Dr Forson said CHRAJ resolved 153 cases and conducted 542 public education campaigns.
Touching on the Legal Aid Commission, Dr Forson said it provided free legal representation to vulnerable citizens and trained 90 staff in leadership and IT systems.
The Commission handled 6,612 cases in 2025, resolving 3,122, with 3,490 pending.
In 2026, CHRAJ would open new regional offices in Oti and Bono East and district offices in Adentan, Jirapa and Busunya to expand access to justice nationwide, he said.
