Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent, an accounts clerk, was dismissed after disciplinary proceedings where she was found guilty of altering requisitions. The proceedings were conducted by a single hearing authority (Mr Muhwati) after the initial committee had declined jurisdiction on a point in limine. The arbitrator found the dismissal unfair and ordered reinstatement.
