a petition dated 30th November 1999, the complainant prayed this Commission to
review his summary dismissal from the Respondent. He stated that he was
dismissed for an alleged misappropriation of NVTI Credit Union funds. He stated
that there was no independent inquiry on the matter. He claimed to have been
victimized for his role in exposing same officials in the cause of his duties.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>He
stated further that he and others benefited from a "controversial
loan". The loans did not pass through the Loans Committee as was the
prescribed procedure.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>He
also stated that others had embezzled various sums of monies and it was because
he was to conduct an audit that he was removed from office.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The
NVTI commented that there could be no independent enquiry into the
misappropriation of funds as the matter was reported to the Nima Police.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>It
stated further that there was no adverse findings against any official as far
as Management was concerned.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>It
also stated that when the police charged him with stealing, he paid back the
money. This pre-empted his proposed court appearance.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>In
