support.<o:p></o:p>And
what is said in support by Edmund A.
Nai, a Divisional Officer Grade III of Ghana
National Fire Service
is that, they are aggrieved
about the judgment
of this Court, delivered on
23/04/2018.<o:p></o:p>It has also been contended that an appeal
has been filed, which raises serious

GH¢300,000.00 may not be recovered
from Respondents once it is paid to them and they lose on appeal.<o:p></o:p>This
Court has perused the Notice of Appeal, filed on 17/07/2018, it has been stated
therein that, the trial judge
erred in law when it ordered the reinstatement of 2nd and 3
