THE Upper West Regional Directorate of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has started a monitoring exercise of some institutions in the region.
The aim is to find out whether the rights of the people are being abused.
The institutions being monitored include hospitals, the Ghana Prisons Service and the Ghana Police Service.
According to the acting Regional Director of CHRAJ, Mr Adam Mumuni, at the Saint Joseph’s Hospital at Jirapa and the Dorimon Health Centre, the monitoring team observed whether people were being discriminated against in the health delivery system.
He was happy that a lot of people had registered under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
“We also inspected the police cells, particularly the conditions of the suspects, whether there were juveniles among them or whether the facilities were congested”, he said.
Mr Mumuni observed that with an increase in the enrolment in schools as a result of the Capitation Grant and the School Feeding Programme, there was the need for the district assemblies to put up more structures.
He appealed to parents to take good care of their children to enable them to become responsible citizens in the future.
Mr Mumuni thanked DANIDA for offering support in the monitoring exercise.
