</div>INTRODUCTION<o:p></o:p>In
January 2000, the Complainants petitioned the Commission against the unlawful attempt
by the Board of Directors of Novotex Company to remove them from office.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>COMPLAINANTS' CASE<o:p></o:p>The
Complainants alleged that they were senior managers of Novotex Company Limited
who were forced out of office by the machinations of Nana Ampadu Daaduam II,
Mpraesohene.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:

mso-border-shadow:yes">The
Complainants alleged that the said Director wrote a letter to the Board, cataloguing
a host of malpractices against the senior managers of Novotex Company Limited,
who are the Complainants. The Complainants petitioned the Board to investigate
the allegations so that they could be cleared or otherwise. The Board of
Directors having seen no merit in the allegations, refused to remove the
Complainants from office. However, the Complainants alleged that the said
Director having failed in his plan, organized some workers to forcefully shut
out the senior managers offices and went on demonstration. They further alleged
that the said Director wrote a resolution for the workers to present to him as
a Director resident at Nkawkaw as if it came from the workers.<o:p></o:p>The
Complainants say that to date they have not received any letter informing them
of their dismissal. Some of the Complainants are still living in the company
apartments with all the facilities they used to enjoy as managers in place.<o:p></o:p>They
therefore petition that:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;
