Accra, March 13, – The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has confirmed that Dr Randy Abbey complied with constitutional and statutory asset declaration obligations following his appointment as Acting Chief Executive of the Ghana Cocoa Board.
CHRAJ stated that Dr. Abbey submitted his assets and liabilities to the Office of the Auditor-General on March 24, 2025, within the legally required three-month period after his appointment.
This clarification followed an investigation of a complaint by a private citizen alleging that certain public officials, including Dr. Abbey, had failed to meet constitutional asset declaration requirements under Article 286 (1) and (2) of the 1992 Constitution and Sections 1 (1) and (4) of the Public Office Holders (Declaration of Assets and Disqualification) Act, 1998 (Act 550).
CHRAJ’s probe found that Dr. Abbey had never served as Policy Advisor to the Vice-President of Ghana, contrary to claims in the complaint, and that he had fulfilled all obligations regarding asset declaration in his role at COCOBOD.
The Commission dismissed the allegation against him as lacking merit and commended Dr. Abbey for timely submission, reiterating its commitment to transparency and accountability in public service.
