Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 13

Extract:

The complainant was summarily dismissed from the organization for serious misconduct. "The complainant argues that the severity of the sanction imposed was disproportionate to the alleged misconduct. Given the evidence of deep-rooted fraud and corruption in the office for which he was responsible, the misconduct was serious and the sanction fully justified."
