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

</div>INTRODUCTION<o:p></o:p>The
Complainant petitioned for redress into his dismissal from the Respondent
institution as he alleged that the dismissal was wrongful.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>COMPLAINANT'S CASE<o:p></o:p>In
the petition received on 4th May 1999, the Complainant stated that he has been
the Respondent's employee since 31st January 1984 to 24th January 1997 when he
was dismissed for allegedly inserting names on the pay roll of the Respondent
Keta Division.<o:p></o:p>The Complainant further stated that he
never inserted any name on the pay roll, hence his dismissal is unjustified.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>RESPONDENT'S CASE<o:p></o:p>In
a comment received, the Respondent explained that there is an internal
resolution mechanism available which the Complainant failed to make use of.
Failure of this he has denied himself of the needed assistance as such he
should take advantage of the internal resolution mechanism available.<o:p></o:p>Furthermore,
on the 13th November 2003, the Respondent indicated that a Central Disciplinary
Board with the recognized credibility and powers vested in it in accordance
with Regulations 3(1)(a) of the Police Service (Disciplinary Proceedings)
Regulations, 1974 (L.1.993) accordingly reviewed the record of proceedings and
considered the findings of the Adjudicating Officer and his panel and finally
agreed that the Complainant should be dismissed from the Service due to the
gravity of his offence.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>FINDINGS<o:p></o:p>
