</div>INTRODUCTION<o:p></o:p>The
Complainant's appointment was terminated by the Respondent on 11th' November
1994. He complained to the Commission on 10th December 1997. He alleged that
his termination was wrongful because it was as a result of slanderous
allegations made against him by his subordinate out of malice. He pleaded with
the Commission to intervene to ensure his reinstatement.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>FRUSTRATIONS<o:p></o:p>Several
attempts at getting the Respondent to comment on the complaint proved futile.
The Commission has also not heard from the Complainant for a very long time. It
is very difficult in circumstance like this to carry out any meaningful
investigation. Both parties have not cooperated with the Commission's investigation.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>DECISION<o:p></o:p>In
the light of the above therefore, the Commission has no option but to
discontinue its investigations. Section 13(1) (b) of Act 456 provides that:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;
margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;mso-pagination:none;
border:none;mso-padding-alt:31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt;mso-border-shadow:yes">"Where in the course of the investigation of any complaint
it appears to the Commission that having regard to all the circumstances of the
case, any further investigation is unnecessary, it may refuse to investigate
the matter further."<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
