DECISION<o:p></o:p>

</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Petitioner's letter dated 23rd
February, 1994 u zed the Commission to "look into the arbitrary dismissal
meted out to m whilst in the Posts and Telecommunications (P&amp;T)
Corporation, and commend to the appropriate quarters my unconditional
reinstatement to he present status of my colleagues in the Corporation".
He states rther that following his dismissal he petitioned the Ato Ampiah
Review committee on 10th July, 1992 but then as at the time of writing nothing
he is been done to redress' his “wrongful dismissal. <o:p></o:p>In a reply to the Commission's
request for their comments the management of the Posts and Telecommunications
Corporation wrote that they had "10 information on his record, which indicates
his evolvement in any case. He was affected by the government: it dismissal of
P &amp; P employees: announced on the radio in December, 1984". This was
at a time when legations or corruption in the P&amp;T Corporation resulted in
several dismissals. Efforts made by this Commission to procure enough relevant
evidence concerning this petition have been in vain due primarily to the long
lapse o time between 1984 and the submission of the petition.<o:p></o:p>In the circumstances the Commission finds it prudent to terasipate
action on the petition in accordance with Section 13) (b) of the Commission on
Human Rights and Administrative Justice Act 1993 (Act 456) which states:<o:p></o:p>"Where in the course of the investigation ion of any
complaint it appears to the Commission that having regard to all the
circumstances of the case<a name="_gjdgxs"></a> any further investigation is
unnecessary, it may refuse to investigate the matter further".<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
