</div>Benjamin
Boye hereinafter called "the Petitioner"
filed this petition against Ghana Institute of Management and Public
Administration (GIMPA) hereinafter called "the Respondent" Claiming
that his employment was wrongfully terminated. <o:p></o:p>The facts in support of the claim were that the
petitioner who was in the employment of the Respondent was involved in what is
termed "fronting for another person" for which reason his appointment
was terminated by the Respondent Institute. <o:p></o:p>The Petitioner contends that his termination should be
substituted for a milder punishment as in the case of two others who were once
involved in a similar case. He contends further that his name was ignorantly
used by his co-worker Mr. Divine Ansah in bidding for the Saloon Car marked for
auction by the Management of GIMPA which he vividly expressed to Management. <o:p></o:p>The Respondent in its response corroborates with the
Petitioner's reason for the termination but
indicates that Management has taken the pains to
go through the laid down procedures as enshrined in the Administrative Manual,
regulations and code of Conduct under Disciplinary Procedure/rules to terminate
the Petitioner's appointment after giving him the opportunity to defend himself
before a disciplinary
Committee which the Petitioner admitted and the
Disciplinary Committee's report was tendered in evidence. <o:p></o:p>DECISION
<o:p></o:p>The Commission finds that, the
Petitioner was given the opportunity to defend himself after which his
appointment was terminated based on the committee's findings. <o:p></o:p>From the foregoing, the Commission finds
the termination lawful in accordance with the Institute's Collective Agreement
hence the petition failed and accordingly dismissed.
