Wa, Sept 17, GNA- ActionAid Ghana, an international non-governmental organization (NGO), has provided 107 million cedis to the Upper West regional office of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to facilitate its educational activities in the region.
In addition it has also promised to increase the amount to 120 million cedis next year.
This was made known by Mr Elias Bruttoh, the Regional Director of CHRAJ when he briefed newsmen on Wednesday on the achievements, prospects and challenges of CHRAJ in the region as part of the activities marking the 10th anniversary of CHRAJ.
He said ActionAid also pays all bills on the servicing of its official vehicle.

Mr Bruttoh appealed to traditional rulers in the region to join hands with CHRAJ in sensitising the people against meting out instant justice, including lynching of suspected witches.
