SYLVANUS KETSI AND GHANA RAILWAY COMPANY

In a complaint received on the 6th of January, 2004 the Complainant alleged that he was declared redundant in 1993 but paid only a meager severance award. The matter was referred to court and the ruling favoured the Complainant and other redundant workers but the Respondent had failed to comply with it. The Complainant therefore requested for a higher severance award with interest and a ¢100 million compensation package from the Respondent. OBSERVATION: The Commission declines any further investigations into the case because the matter had already been decided by the law courts. The Complainant is however advised to go back to court if the Respondent had failed to comply with the courts ruling. DECISION Any further investigation is ceased in accordance with S.8 (2) (a) of Act 456. The Commissioner shall not investigate a matter which is pending before a court or judicial tribunal.
