from the Commission.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>COMPLAINANT'S CASE<o:p></o:p>The
Complainant alleged that he was involved in an accident on the 6th of June 1997
on Adenta road which resulted in serious injuries. The accident was reported to
Kaneshie Police Station. The driver was subsequently charged with offence of
careless driving and was put before the Circuit Tribunal. According to the

play.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>RESPONDENT'S CASE<o:p></o:p>Comments
received from the Respondent indicated that the above matter was taken to the
28th February Road Circuit Tribunal and has been there since 18th March 1999.
The case was adjourned to 4th February 2000 with the view to locate witnesses
involved to give evidence, but the search failed.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:
