It is a carrot-approach to reward the good even as government applies the stick to punish the corrupt.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Commissioner of CHRAJ Richard Quayson mentioned the institution of the awards as one of the measures it expects the president to adopt in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 71 updated by: 71 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics of Saturday, 9 December 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-12-09 Richard Quayson, Deputy Commissioner of CHRAJ The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has lamented, politically-engineered recruitments into public sector institutions frustrates the fight against corruption. &#8220;It is distorting the system that we have to be put in place to help us fight corruption&#8221;, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":445418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-445417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Protocol jobs frustrating fighting against corruption - CHRAJ - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2017\/12\/09\/protocol-jobs-frustrating-fighting-against-corruption-chraj\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Protocol jobs frustrating fighting against corruption - CHRAJ - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Politics of Saturday, 9 December 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-12-09 Richard Quayson, Deputy Commissioner of CHRAJ The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has lamented, politically-engineered recruitments into public sector institutions frustrates the fight against corruption. &#8220;It is distorting the system that we have to be put in place to help us fight corruption&#8221;, [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/09\\\/protocol-jobs-frustrating-fighting-against-corruption-chraj\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/09\\\/protocol-jobs-frustrating-fighting-against-corruption-chraj\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"Protocol jobs frustrating fighting against corruption &#8211;
