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

</div>INTRODUCTION:<o:p></o:p>In a complaint received on the 18th
February 2004 the Complainant claimed that the Respondent had been making
certain illegal deductions in his salary with the reason that their records
indicated that he had procured a loan of three million cedis (¢3,000,000.00)
from their agents. The Respondent admitted being at fault and promised to
rectify the anomaly and refund the said monies but they had not done so despite
the Complainant's numerous petitions.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>OBSERVATION:<o:p></o:p>The
Commission declines to investigate this complaint, as it observes that the
matter is a labour related one involving a private institution. The Complainant
is therefore advised to pursue the matter internally or seek redress at the
Labour Office or in Court.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>DECISION:<o:p></o:p>Further
investigations into this case cease in accordance with Section 13(1)(a) of the
Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice Act 1993 (Act 456) which
states that:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;

investigation of any complaint it appears to the Commission -<o:p></o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;

administrative practice there is adequate remedy for the complaint whether or
not the Complainant has availed himself of it, it may refuse to investigate the
matter further".<o:p></o:p></main>
