Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, a driver employed by ZIMRA, was dismissed for allegedly falsifying quotations for vehicle repairs. He had obtained three quotations as instructed, but two were found to have been altered by having "1" inserted before the original figures to make them appear more expensive than the USD 80 quotation he initially obtained.
