THE DECISION<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>Upon &nbsp;a careful consideration of
all the evidence adduced by the parties herein and of the closing submissions
made by both counsel, this Court is of the opinion that the plaintiff has not
been able to establish his case on a balance of probabilities and therefore the
plaintiff is not entitled to the reliefs he seeks from this Court.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:

BRIEF FACTS<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The plaintiff is a national of the Democratic Republic
of the Congo and he worked with the defendant herein from the year 2001 till
the year 2018 when his appointment was terminated by the defendant precisely in
the month of May, 2018.&nbsp; Upon his
termination, the plaintiff was offered or paid five (5) months’ salary as
handshake by the defendant. He was also given two (2) months’ basic salary as
leave earned for two years plus travel arrangements back to his home country. The
plaintiff was obviously dissatisfied with this package and he thus mounted the
present action against the defendant to claim the reliefs endorsed on his writ of
summons.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:
