The facts leading to his dismissal are briefly that when he was acting as the Factory Superintendent in the absence of DWI Albert Camurunges who had fallen sick, the plaintiff endorsed requisitions to the stores f or materials purportedly for repairs. The requisitions were countersigned by the Engineering manager DW2 Mark Williams and the Materials were accordingly released from the stores. When DWI Albert Camurunges recovered and resumed work, he set out to establ i sh if the materials requisitioned and drawn from the stores in his absence had indeed been used because he doubted that the said materials had been used he sought explanation from and asked the plaintiff to show him where the materials had been used. On t h e plaintiff failing to satisfy PWI Albert Camururanges and upon the latter becoming suspicious that there had been some malpractices he referred the matter to PW2 Mark Williams who made his own investigations and questioned the plaintiff but the latter's r esponses were contradictory and evasive. He concluded that the plaintiff had acted dishonestly and therefore suspended him. Subsequently the plaintiff was dismissed. The plaintiff claims that his dismissal was effected without giving him a chance to expla in himself and that therefore it was unlawful and unconstitutional hence this suit. \par }\pard \s15\qj \li24\ri24\sl360\slmult1\nowidctlpar\faauto\rin24\lin24\itap0\pararsid10961927 {\f0\cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid673628\charrsid10517559 At the commencement of the hearing of this suit, the following issues were framed for determination namely;- \par {\listtext\pard\plain\s15 \cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid673628\charrsid10517559 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 1.\tab}}\pard \s15\qj \fi-360\li720\ri0\sl360\slmult1\nowidctlpar\jclisttab\tx720\faauto\ls3\rin0\lin720\itap0\pararsid10961927 { \f0\cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid673628\charrsid10517559 whether the dismissal of the plaintiff was wrongful. \par {\listtext\pard\plain\s15 \cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid673628\charrsid10517559 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 2.\tab}whether the plaintiff was upon his dismissal paid his accrued dues. \par {\listtext\pard\plain\s15 \cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid673628\charrsid10517559 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 3.\tab}whether the plaintiff is entitled to the reli}{\f0\cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid10961927 ef}{ \f0\cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid673628\charrsid10517559 sought. \par {\listtext\pard\plain\s15 \cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid673628\charrsid10517559 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 4.\tab}the quantum of damages. }{\f0\cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid10961927 \par }\pard \s15\qj \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\nowidctlpar\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid5638848 {\f0\cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid673628\charrsid10517559 In an endeavour to prove that his dismissal w}{ \f0\cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid10961927 as wrongful, the plaintiff PWl J}{\f0\cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid673628\charrsid10517559 ames Anywar testified that at the time of the incident, he had assumed the duties of his immediate boss DWl Albert Cammurunges, the factory Superintendent who had fallen sick.

The plaintiff also gave

evidence that because the water tank outside of the factory premises had a problem, he asked the same Charles Serwambala to survey it and to make a requisition for spares and materials for its repair. This requisition was made and the plaintiff signed it t ogether with the permission authorizing the said Charles Serwambala to go and work outside. The latter went out with gas spanners, cast iron and welding rods. He complained that though he accounted for the materials he issued, he was suspended and even di smissed on the 24/5/2002 without having been given a haring.

He did not take them to another site where he claimed he had fixed another gate valve. 21/2 gate valves were found and recovered. They were spoilt but he never explained where the other 8 had gone. DW2 Mark Williams gave evidence that of the about 100 welding rods that had been drawn compared to the work done only 4 or 5 pieces could have been used.

He denied his signature on the requisition for electrodes and relented when it was shown to him. He was also fraudulent because the permit for workmen to go outside the factory which he signed was for a welding job on the water tr e atment plant which did not require valves; in any case the gate valve required there would have been 6" gate valves.

He appealed against the dismissal order to the head of department and a panel of Appeal was constituted of which the witness was the secretary. As Secretary of the Panel of Appeal, he compiled the record of appeal which was signed by the Chairman Normal Foreman and himself. The appeal was dismissed on grounds that the plaint i ff had failed to perform his duties as a Supervisor in that the welding rods and valves he requisitioned for were not used in the places he had claimed he had used them because using them would have entailed shutting down the whole factory which was not d one.
