The Respondent contends that due to the Applicant’s misconduct, the
Respondent queried the Applicant and subsequently meted out disciplinary
measures against him by extending his confirmation as permanent staff by
a period of one year. The Respondent states that no fraud, irregularities
and or flaws were responsible for the non-recruitment of the Applicant for
the position of Director, Public Sector Operations but that it made
considerable effort to make sure that the Applicant was shortlisted by KAPI
Consult after he had not being initially shortlisted by KAPI.
The Respondent alleges that the shortlisting exercise conducted was not
on basis of the Applicant’s numerous protest letters but on EBIDs principle
of giving priority to internal candidates which was extended to all internal
candidates for various positions. Respondent further averred that KAPI
Consult and MCA were involved in the recruitment exercise and the
conduct of the psychometric online assessment respectively and that they
discharged their duties satisfactorily. That their recruitment was also in
accordance with due process.
The Respondent states that the Applicant was not the only internal
candidate who was unsuccessful in the exercise and that in fact all the
internal candidates were unsuccessful. That when the Applicant got a
glimpse that he was unsuccessful for the position, his started to
consistently complain and display acts of indiscipline.
The Respondent avers that the Applicant’s appointment was terminated on
grounds of his blatant indiscipline and insubordination which was
incompatible with its standards, values and culture of any corporate
environment such as the Respondent’s Bank. That the said termination
was as a result of several acts of misconduct deserving disciplinary action
