</div>INTRODUCTION<o:p></o:p>The Complainant alleged that after a violent
incident, his appointment was terminated with an option to re-apply for
appointment. He found the whole action wrongful and therefore sought redress from
the Commission.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>COMPLAINANT'S CASE<o:p></o:p>The Complainant's case is that he was
attacked in his office by the Chief Security. Officer following a complaint
lodged by a lady tenant at the Kaneshie market. Both parties were given orders
to proceed on indefinite suspension without pay for a Committee to be set up
for investigations.<o:p></o:p>Later the Complainant was served with a
letter informing him that as a result of the investigations carried out into
the fight incident, his appointment had been terminated with immediate effect.
The letter stated that he could re-apply within 14 days if he was interested in
working with the Company. The Complainant feels unsalily liealed since he did
not fight on the day of the incident.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>RESPONDENT'S CASE<o:p></o:p>In reply, the Respondent explained that the
Complainant had been employed for seven years. However his attitude towards his
peers, subordinates and seniors has been very negative.<o:p></o:p>According to the Respondent, the Complainant
and another senior officer fought brutally in the market in front of the market
women, wounding and biting each other in the process. A five-member Committee
was appointed to go into the matter. The board of the Company endorsed the
recommendations of the Committee and requested the officers to re-apply for
e-engagement and sign a bond not to fight again.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>COMMISSION'S INVESTIGATIONS AND FINDINGS<o:p></o:p>Whilst the matter was pending at the
Commission's offices, the aggrieved Complainant and the General Manager met at
the Mampong Community Tribunal, the two parties held discussions and agreed on
a settlement. The Complainant later informed the Commission of the agreement to
be paid his entitlements by the Respondent to settle the matter.<o:p></o:p>On the 8th day of November 2002 a cheque was
issued in favour of the Complainant for the sum of ¢559,113.40. It is noted
