The above recommendation of the Finance and Administration Committee, which comprised the Deputy Secretary General in charge of Finance and Administration, is not disputed by the Respondent. Thirdly, the Council held its 16th Meeting in Arusha on 13th September, 2008 on the basis of the Coordination Committee’s Report, considered among other issues the recruitment of Professional Staff. It is further worthy noting that during that meeting, the Council, as recommended by the Coordination Committee and by its decision EAC/CM 16/Decision 41, appointed Ms. Angella Amudo to the position of a Project Account as a professional staff. We also noted that on the same date, the Council appointed Mr. Leonard M. Onyonyi, Benoit Bihamiriza and Didacus, B. Kaguta to the respective positions of Peace and Security Expert, Conflict and Early Warning Expert and Peace and Security Officer under AU Funding. At this stage, one may pause and ask why there has been a clear distinctiveness of those appointments made the same day. Fourthly, when on 29th September, 2008 the Respondent came to implement the above Council’s decision; he informed Ms. Angello Amudo that she had been appointed as Project Accountant, not in the category of Professional Staff but as a Project Accountant attached to the EAC Secretariat funded under RISP Project. It is indicated in the said letter that the appointee was not to be considered as a regular staff member under EAC Staff Rules and CLAIM NO.1 OF 2012 Page 17
