January, 2002, the plaintiff was a Senior Accountant in the Judicial Service of
Ghana.&nbsp; He was employed by the Service in
1984; and by dint of hard work, it seems to me, he was appointed the Regional
Accountant in charge of the Western Region of Ghana sometime in the year
2001.&nbsp; He was an executive officer.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The plaintiff was
summarily dismissed from the Judicial Service, following an allegation of
misconduct made against him; and found to have been proved against him.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;
